READING FRIENDS

by Torben Betts Directed by Philip Franks A spine-chilling ghost story, turned psychological thriller starring TV and stage favourites Tom Chambers (Holby City, Casualty, Waterloo Road, Father Brown and Strictly Come Dancing champion) and Susie Blake (Victoria Wood’s As Seen on TV). What happens when the lights go out? It’s New Year’s Eve, when a car crash on a deserted road brings famous but troubled singer Danny Sierra and his dysfunctional family to an isolated holiday cottage in rural England. From the moment they arrive, a sequence of inexplicable events begin to occur… and then the lights go out… As the tension rises and deeply buried secrets come to light, you’ll find nothing is quite as it seems. From the mind of acclaimed writer Torben Betts and produced by the award-winning Original Theatre, who brought you the smash hit production of The Mirror Crack’d by Agatha Christie, Murder in The Dark will have you on the edge of your seats until the final chilling twist. Are you brave enough to uncover the truth?

“I do love nothing in the world so well as BOOZE- is not that strange?”  Stumbling out of their London local (Leicester Square Theatre) and straight onto a UK wide theatre crawl, hoping to not get BARD along the way, Sh!t-faced Shakespeare® go on tour with an all new production of their hit show Much Ado About Nothing. When the sinister bastard Don John and his troupe of bachelor soldiers arrive in Messina, love is in the air as old flames are re-ignited and new desires begin to burn. Maybe some giggle juice will help lubricate the process? Sh!t-faced Shakespeare® is the classic combination of a hacked-to-bits Shakespeare script, half a dozen professional actors and a bucket load of booze! Sounds classical to us. Warning: Sh!t-faced Shakespeare® is an adult show for big sensible grownups and therefore contains rude stuff!
