Description
Amusement and laughter are antidotes to living in a time when the world seems constantly out of kilter, and beautifully crafted short works are ideal in an era when everyone’s time is squeezed and precious.Bittersweet Productions has curated a triple bill that explodes in mayhem and madness!
In one visit to the magnificent art deco surrounds of the Independent Theatre, we present two comedies and a short drama at affordable prices.
Alice Gerstenberg’s The Pot Boiler is a satiric take on the construct of producing a play – with farcical and physical comedy a plenty. Director, Sarah Carradine.
Bertolt Brecht’s The Jewish Wife is a 10-minute sketch where we feel the full weight of history and its madness and glimpse the scale of the disruption that dictatorship may produce in a simple domestic world. Director, John Grinston.
Alan Ayckbourn’s Gosforth’s Fete is a riotous exploration of small-town life – when no matter what peoples’ best intentions are everything goes stupendously wrong, and the comic gods are unleashed. Director Christine Firkin.
