The Telling & Blue Fire Theatre Co Present: Practically Imperfect
Friday 13th March at 7.30pm
Tickets : £18.00
Award-winning music and theatre company, The Telling and Blue Fire Theatre Co present Practically Imperfect, a play with music by award-winning writer Clare Norburn and BAFTA-nominated BBC director, Nicholas Renton (Mrs Gaskell’s Wives and Daughters, Musketeers, Lewis).
The very private PL Travers lives quietly in Chelsea. Out of the blue, her very own creation, Mary Poppins, suddenly appears in Travers’ study, asking difficult questions Travers would rather not answer. Rather than the Banks family, Mary Poppins has come to sort out the acerbic PL Travers herself. But Travers is a force to be reckoned with too. So who will control the narrative and win the battle of wills?
The fun-filled chaos is soundtracked by the kind of music PL Travers really wanted in the Mary Poppins film (Edwardian songs such as Lily of Laguna). Starring acclaimed actor Lottie Walker as PL Travers and actor-musician Joanna Brown as Mary Poppins.

Isosceles Present: The Man Who Left The Titanic
Isosceles Present:
The Man Who Left The Titanic

SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL…SHE WAS UNSINKABLE….SHE WAS DOOMED…
On April 15th 1912, the Titanic, the greatest ship in the world, slipped below the frigid waters of the Atlantic.
Yet J. Bruce Ismay, managing director of the White Star Line, stepped into a lifeboat and sailed away from the stricken ship, sailed away from his passengers, sailed away from the cries and screams and tears.
‘The Man Who Left The Titanic’ evokes that terrible voyage and asks whether Bruce Ismay only did what any of us might have done in the same circumstances, or should his actions that night consign his name to infamy?
Was he a coward, or merely human?
Both actors fed off each others lines perfectly without any hesitation in their flawless dialogue. The back and forth questioning and answers provided to each other by these two excellent actors is “excellence personified”. When “The Man Who Left The TITANIC” ended the audience leaped to their feet with an unending round of applause, still applauding as they departed. Should you have the opportunity to see this play, do not miss it. Outstanding, the entire audience were spellbound from scene one to the end.
