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.
Three Weeks | Rating 3/5

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.

The Cast!
Every time I have to cast a show it seems to get harder. All those who auditioned were fabulous, doing shows with Act 2 has clearly just made you all that much better than the very high standard you were at when I last had to make this sort of choice. I am truly sorry for the people who I couldn't find a place for, I would love to have you all in the show...
But here is the chosen cast:
Rick - Peter Hawes
Lisa - Richelle Brundle
Archie - Richard Fish
Dorothy - Naomi Marsh
Kate - Tania Harris
Colin and Nigel will be cast in the near future.
If anyone has any questions or comments please get hold of me. I'll be emailing you, hopefully tomorrow, to sort out when you will be free for rehearsals.
This is going to be a great show, thanks all of you for auditioning.
