Ah – showing either his ironic sense of humour and the ridiculous, or his disregard for the small matter of turning up in parliament to represent his constituents (he’s my MP, apparently) Gorgeous George enters the BB house.
Mark Espiner, who’s been doing very interesting work with his theatre company “Sound and Fury” has a new play in preview.
The play is written by Glen Neath, entitled The Highs and Lows of Owning your own Home.
Mark’s full announcement follows the ‘more’ button, but he introduced it as follows:
I had mentioned this to a couple of you and if you’re free you
might like to sample it. It’s a showcase of the first act of this
fine new Beckett/Pinter/Kafka-esque play with a bit of Magnus Mills
thrown in and is about three 30-something men struggling over a
property and a woman. With the writer I’ve cast it with some fine
actors in their late-70s which really adds to the petty squabbles –
which have a linguistic undercurrent of international politics and
the war on terror.
