Road (2005)

193.203.81.129: /* External Links */

[[Image:Roadposter_web.jpg|thumb|300px|Poster by [[Mark Davies]]]]

by [[Jim Cartwright]]

Directed by [[Emma Hillman]]

Performances: 1st – 5th November [[2005]], [[Bell Theatre]].

== Introduction ==

Road by Jim Cartwright has been compared to Under Milk Wood and this is a good model for the structure of the piece: like the narrator in Thomas’ play for voices, Scullery our drunken guide meanders aimlessly up and down his road pointing out the features of the grim Lancashire landscape and setting the scenes for the glimpses we see of the inhabitants’ lives.

Brenda wants a pound on one, Prof’s after a recollection, Carol and Louise are looking for summat different, Barry and Marion are out to kill each other, Dor and Lane keep on snogging through. Eddie thinks he’s a cowboy, DJ Bisto invites you to his Beatoven disco and Joey’s just had enough. All human life is here. It’s a poetic depiction of the desolation wrought on the industrial North during the government of Our Lady Thatcher. Despite this, the characters are juicy with vitality expressing themselves in great verbal arias. Shagging, smoking, fighting, drinking, disco, fish and chips, seduction, thievery, stolen dreams, lost ideals, soldiers, tarts, housewives, moochers, drunks, academics, Buddhists and skinheads. Community. Brink, Carol, Eddie and Louise finish the night off for us conveying their greatest fears and dreams, the hopelessness of their hope and the thought that somehow they might escape.

“Hold tight! Here we go! Come on! Watch the kerb missus! Road’s coming round!”

There will be some entertainment in the bar before the show and at the interval provided by some of the inhabitants of Road.

“A surreal vision of the contemporary urban landscape…..uncomfortable and magical, funny and bitter. It is a Northern Under Milk Wood, high on pills and booze” Sunday Times.

“I promise you something different. Let’s see how much difference you can take” Brink, Road.

My Night With Reg (2005)

193.203.81.129: /* External Links */

[[Image:mynightwithreg.jpg|thumb|300px|Poster by [[Judy Ratzin]]]]

by [[Kevin Elyot]]

Directed by [[Helen Chadney]]

Performances: Tue 29th November – Sat 3rd December [[2005]], Bell Theatre

== Introduction ==

Kevin Elyot’s Olivier Award-winning comic drama is the story of a group of gay friends living in London whose lives revolve one way or another around the unseen title character, the lover of one of them who seems to have had more than one night with more than just one person. It is a poignant, beautifully written play constructed around three ensemble scenes which take place over the course of about four years in a single apartment. It is warm and funny, but also completely believable, with characters who are more than just stereotypes and emotional themes which are more than just skin-deep.

At a flatwarming party for Guy, an eternal single, he says that it is not a case of him having given up on a sex life, it’s more a case of a sex life having given up on him. In the face of the mounting AIDS crisis, Guy has more or less sworn off casual sex, but as the play opens he is renewing his acquaintance with John, a friend since college but never a lover. Guy holds an obvious torch for John who remains completely oblivious. John has in fact just fallen in love for the first time, setting off a chain reaction of deception and betrayal, involving mutual college friend Daniel, which bubbles under the surface of the narrative right to the touching finale.

Later thrown into the mix are Benny and Bernie, a couple with some startling revelations of their own to make, and handyman Eric, a young man who seems to appreciate Guy’s warmth and sensitivity, but doesn’t wish to take things any further.
