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.

Kiss!
Just submitted the image below to C-venues for use on their website and in some of their early publicity along side some of the copy we sent them earlier. As we haven't got a cast at the moment I went with this image to try and convey a little of what the play is about. It was a bit of a speedy job as I'd failed to read a line on the last C-venues bulletin and hadn't realised the deadline was so close - eek! Still - I work well under pressure and I'm pleased with what we came up with - it was an idea we discussed in a couple of the initial meetings and luckily I had just ordered a couple of the microphones for work :-). Louise Freeth assisted greatly by supplying the lipstick (and the lips!) and then gave the photo her magic touch in Photoshop. Thank you Louise x!
