1948: George Orwell is attempting to finish his final novel -Nineteen Eighty Four - before ill-health forces him off the solated Scottish island he has made his home. Holed up with a shotgun and literary-circle bombshell Sonia Brownell for company he’s desperately hoping for a last chance at happiness. But George is no womaniser and is sure to make a hash of things particularly after his childhood friend and notorious lecher Cyril Connolly turns up. Will he seduce Sonia or will Cyril scupper his plans? Can he survive his friends, both real and imaginary, and finish his masterpiece before death comes knocking?
A poignant new play explores exactly what it means to dice with death when being alive proves to be painful.
Funny People is Roy Smiles’ whimsical account of his life in comedy; from his childhood growing up with the star actors and comedians on television, stand-up and film in the 1960s and 1970s, through to his own work, writing hit plays that pay tribute to those legends of comedy who had a vital influence on both him and British popular culture of the post-war years. From Sunday Night at the Palladium and The Dean Martin Show through Monty Python to The Simpsons and When Harry Met Sally and from Laurel and Hardy and Danny Kaye through Les Dawson to Jon Stewart and Chris Rock, Funny People is a compelling celebration of comedy and its value in our lives.I am a religious man and I believe in the Holy Trinity:and they are Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor and Bill Hicks. Amen.Billy Connolly is the best comic ever to come out of the British Isles in my lifetime: I can prove it using slides and pie-charts.Jo Brand [is] easily the most fearless performer I’ve ever seen live (she used to swat down hecklers like they were slightly irritating gnats).Am I the only guy in the world who adores Abbot & Costello? Does this mean I’m a bad person?
See Cleese's first audition. Hear the simpering paternalism of David Frost. Be touched by the religious furore over the 'Life of Brian'. Comprehend the true meaning of the coconuts in 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail'! Pythonesque premiered at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival, in August 2009.
I wish I knew before... Tagline: Before the smiles... before the lies...before it was too late.
