Turn to Face the Change
Was performed at the 2005 Edinburgh Fringe Festival at C electric. Monday 15 to Friday 19 August

Rick is a radio presenter whose chat show includes a man sexually
intimidated by a cat. His style changes dramatically when he meets Lisa, an
erotic fiction writer, on a blind date. The romantic comedy also has a
generational edge involving Rick's father and Lisa's mother Dorothy. This is
generally a light hearted, watchable show, but it can be a bit trite and is
sometimes left hanging in the air. The dialogue may seem stilted but the
daughter-mother-flatmate relationship was particularly funny, and there were
some decent performances. The show also has a lush setting in the caverns of
C electric - just don't expect anything too deep or unpredictable.

Rick is a late-night radio talk show host with a mysterious history. He shares a flat with his womanising best friend, Archie. Lisa is a successful writer whose continuing search for love is severely hindered by her mother, Dorothy, a woman with a PhD in emotional blackmail. Through a series of bizarre coincidences, the very different lives of Rick, Lisa, Archie and Dorothy collide, and in one very peculiar night, their lives are changed forever. All four characters are forced to face up to the reasons why they live the way they do, how different things could be, and whether or not change is necessarily a good thing.

Auditions
I finished going over the script and choosing audition pieces last night. I had thought about asking people to read a short sketch too but the updated script is now so tight that all the comedy you need is right there!
The bits are:
p5-8 Rick and Archie p15-16 Dorothy and Lisa p20-21 Rick and Lisa p30-32 Dorothy and Archie (if necessary)
Looking forward to tonight
