Notes: | This adult black comedy is suited to a modern audience, festivals. | |||||
Synopsis: | Be-Be is the stalker from hell. . . and not only does she know it, she loves it. She takes us on a behind-the-scenes look at what makes stalkers like her tick. What makes them fall for married men and what makes them keep falling long after he has gone back to his wife? Be-Be takes us on a journey illustrating the start of a typical affair, the breakdown, the meltdown, the make-up, the sex, the fights, the humour, the weakness of men and the strength of the kind of woman who believes in their fateful right, to be right! Accompanied by every stalkers chief accessory, the non threatening gay friend, Be-Be enjoys the highs and lows of her life, resulting in what can only be termed as futile attraction. A black comedy for adults and the modern stage, involving farce, song, dance, a composite set, quick change and doubling of characters and a suspension of disbelief and fantasy required by the audience to go along with Be-Be's story. A theatrical comedic take on an otherwise very serious theme. | |||||
