Me and Me Dad
A story of friendship, fish pie and flick-to-kick football.
Andy Green’s dad needs a recipe for toast. He thinks that Tortilla fought King Kong and that Tiramisu played midfield for Brazil in the 1974 World Cup.
In short, he’s rubbish. Good at Subbuteo; hopeless with spaghetti.
So when Andy’s mum dies, Andy does the decent thing - he takes a month off work and moves back home with his dad to teach him how to cook. Fighting memories - and occasionally each other - and threatening the sanity of friends and neighbours, not to mention Andy’s new girlfriend, the pair boil pans, set grills on fire, and worse, in an attempt to avoid a diet of pickled beetroot and jam sandwiches (not necessarily in that order).
Can their relationship survive? Or is this is one kitchen nightmare even Gordon Ramsay couldn’t fix?
A brand new bittersweet comedy from the writer of My Favourite Summer (“Blissfully funny”- Daily Telegraph) and Blue Cross Xmas (****- What’s On Stage).
Men of the World
Join Stick, Frank and Happy Larry (two men and a woman!) as they embark on another coach journey down the Rhine Valley….these long suffering drivers have seen it all and done it all; so as they lead towards the Channel Tunnel with thirty old age pensioners in Paris, search for lost teeth in Koblenz and witness love affairs in Boppard…and after a four-day ‘Umpah’ party they make the long journey back. Funny, sad and cinematic you’ll be amazed as Stick, Frank and Happy Larry as they play many of the pensioners in a total evocation of a bus trip. Touching, funny and provoking comedy written by one of the nation’s leading comedy playwrights who has written over 50 plays!
