Synopsis: | A play about love, longing and the unreliability of macaws. "I had an extraordinary time this afternoon. Edward Sheldon, who wrote Romance and other successful plays, has been stricken with some appalling petrifying paralysis for fourteen years and is blind too. All the well known stage people go to see him, talk to him and act scenes from their plays and ask his advice. . . He talks with consummate ease and charm, as if he had known you all his life. . . " On the 27th December 1936, in a penthouse suite high above the streets of New York, a meeting took place between John Gielgud, a young, beautiful and very much in demand actor, and the playwright Edward Sheldon who, at the age of 29, was struck with crippling rheumatoid arthritis, a disease which eventually claimed his sight. It was to change both their lives forever. Based on a true account, The Man Who Lived Twice is a dramatised version of what took place between these two men the 'crippled muse' and the 'fastidious actor', who a few days later returned to give the performance of his life. . . | |||||

Synopsis: | In a small wee town where tin was shaped and forged, a blacksmith had a daughter not quite the trim. Rita was a bit different. Now as far as the blacksmith was concerned this was a cosmic joke too far, so he set about changing things. Coz tin was his game, within which he'd achieved a modicum of fame, he tried to bend and shape her like a Uri Geller spoon. And that's how it would have gone on if Spasticus and the Rays hadn't come along and changed just about everything . . .Inspired by the life and songs of Ian Dury, Raspberry is juicily gothic piece of music theatre that muses on the idea of perfection and perfectibility | |||||
