Written and Directed by Paul Reynolds
Synopsis:This about how we see people and who they really are and about hope and positive outcomes when all things seem to be potentially against you. A parody of 21st century culture and living with the constant cloud of social media, dating Apps, the changing landscape and of course people around us that perhaps prefer things as they used to be. There are undertones of reflection on relationships and growing old (dis) gracefully
Character:
Maisie: Slightly mousy, introverted and downtrodden, playing age mid 40’s, been unlucky in love (she now rebuffs men on internet dating sites!)and has moved back in with her well off cantankerous mother. Let down by a series of men she speaks about the behaviour of European domesticated felines at conferences, drinks white wine , coffee and espresso martinis!
Andy: Playing age early 40’s, confident, slightly flamboyant, natty dresser, knows a small amount about most things but specialises in virtually nothing )other than failed relationships)His confidence hides an inner turmoil of self loathing, depression,, vulnerability, and a deep desire to find “the one”
Mum (Beryl): No nonsense well heeled londoner, done most things in life and wants people to leave her alone.She is not happy her daughter has moved in. She hates most things modern, Tik Tok, X, the French and EV’s
Ray the Coach: Gruff, to the point and fed up of driving coaches. He relieves the boredom by drinking too much and trying to find suitable females to for the 24/48 hour stop overs! His attempts with Beryl go very wrong. Does not understand the woke culture and wishes the empire was still in tact
Patrice: Flamboyant, suave good looking french man playing age 20’s/30’s works on eurostar as customer service assistant. Dreams of being in Moulin Rouge!
Jonathon: Playing age late 50’s, camp and plump. Cameo appearance as receptionist at Bruges hotel

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
Friday 16th January at 7.30pm
Tickets £15
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.
Commander Bill Wilson Member, Titanic International Society

Tickets £13
Purgatory (Berkoff)
By Steven Berkoff
Directed by Danny Sparkes
Steven Berkoff has variously been described as controversial, thrilling and dynamic;abusive, shocking and surprising. His work showcases controversy. black humour and dramatic dialectics. Purgatory- the state of suffering after death before ascending to Heaven or the quality of cleansing or purifying. Is this an appropriate title for this play? I will leave it to you to decide. John is a “resting” classical actor (is he in the right place?); Betty is a typical “digs” landlady with her own rules- but does she want an actor as a tenant? Sarah is the “nice” young lady in the next room: Ted is a night-working “oik” An unlikely quartet thrown together by circumstance. Can they possibly live in the same property?

Brothers Broke Present:
When Judas Met John
Songs of Dylan and Lennon
Thursday 16th October at 7.30pm
Tickets: Adults £15, Children/Students £12
A unique raw, acoustic and direct take on the music of Dylan and Lennon, performed around a fact based story of influence, envy, parody and respect.
Listed by one professional reviewer as one of “five shows not to be missed at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe,” this Irish duo strip bare some classic and lesser known songs by Dylan and Lennon, and present them raw and unplugged in their own energetic style.
Influenced by the meeting of Bob Dylan and The Beatles, this engaging show compares the like-minded and socially conscious lyrics of Dylan and Lennon and deals with the relevance of their political messaging, written up to sixty years ago, in today’s world. It also addresses key questions regarding their relationship – why was Lennon in awe of Dylan only to deride him years later, and why did Dylan keep it to himself that he “really dug the Beatles”?
The duo modify and present the songs in a Blues/Folk style with tight sibling harmonies, around a story of the influence, jealousy, parody and respect that each artist had for the other.
The show is a proud holder of the coveted “Sell-out Show” Laurel awarded by Edinburgh Fringe.
