Passenger(s)

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

FLEETWOOD BAC were the world’s first and are regarded as the UK’s most authentic Fleetwood Mac Tribute show. The band was the first Fleetwood Mac tribute band to fully replicate the classic Stevie, Lindsey, Christine, John & Mick ‘Rumours’ line-up. This is much more than a tribute act, it is a proper rock band, with no additional backing musicians and no backing tracks. The sound, the look, the mystical atmosphere and the on-stage chemistry are all captured with accuracy, passion and energy.

Over the many years Fleetwood Bac has been together, the band has received rave reviews from ‘The Stage’ newspaper, leading Fleetwood Mac fan sites, the official Stevie Nicks website; and from ecstatic audiences wherever the band has played. 

The Fleetwood Bac show focuses on the ‘Rumours’ era of the band (still the 5th biggest-selling album of all time). You can expect to hear all the greatest hits and best-known album tracks, as well as several songs from the Peter Green days, plus some of Stevie’s biggest solo hits, in a theatrical 2-hour show, including costume changes and an acoustic section.

A thunderstorm. In a windswept country house a dysfunctional family  wrangles over a will:  a writer, an artist  a composer   and a dysfunctional teenager, combined with a detective who has never solved a case. Here are the prime ingredients for a murder mystery, but this diversion is by Alan Ayckbourn and it has a number of surprises. The victim is not who it should be, the murderer’s identity changes overnight and the thrills are leavened with tongue in cheek humor and ironic comment.
