6 Nights only! Desperate Thespians by Jackie Skarvelis
Colour House Theatre, Merton Abbey Mills, part of Abbeyfest, a two month festival of drama, dance, comedy, jazz and classics every July and August. SCANDAL! OUTRAGE! SHOCK!
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 ingénues – 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.
