Synopsis: | An uproarious comedy, think AB FAB meets WITHNAIL AND I and you're close. Two over the top, over the hill actresses - played by men - share a heady diet of boys and booze. Too old for ingenues - too young for babushkas - they embark on a picaresque trawl through the wilder shores of showbiz, ending up on an organic farm in Wales run by iconic lesbian director, enfant terrible Phyllis Leek - a legend in her own lunchtime! All manner of mayhem ensues, ending happily with an uneasy threesome appearing on a fly on the wall reality show BIG SISTER. | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | James Dean - now let's see: famously moody good looks; devastatingly vulnerable sexual charisma; place next to Brando and Clift in the gospel of Method Acting. Reasons for his fame - and just a few reasons why you'd have to be wacko, or brilliant, or epically over-ambitious to do a twohour one-man fringe show in which you not only play James Dean, but also re-cap his notorious Broadway performance of the 'Scissors Dance' (as the silkily under-dressed Bachir the Arab houseboy, who seduces his master by flashing a pair of scissors like castanets). | |||||
