If that doesn't work, here be the blurb.

 

"Porno Chic is a brand new play from the award winning writing and directing team Craig Hepworth and Adele Stanhope and award winning Vertigo Theatre Productions, the company behind over 20 hit plays inc the 5 star reviewed Mysterious Skin, M, Rage, Die, Mommie, Die and Watching Goldfish Suffocate.

In the 1970s Harry Reems was just another struggling actor in New York city, paying his way by making low budget stag films (pornographic shorts) then he would make a decision that would change his life however....agreeing to star in the movie Deep Throat. The movie would go on to cause outrage, a political fall out and be the first porn movie to cross over to the mainstream grossing a reported 600 million from a 22 grand budget. Harry along with Linda Lovelace would become the poster kid for the sexual revolution but soon his world would crumble with charges and prosecutions for simply appearing in the film, drink, type casting and his painful downfall.

Porno Chic peaks behind the curtain of Harry Reems life and the 70s world of porn. Dramatic, fast paced, funny, satirical, adult and controversial, Porno Chic promises a night in the theatre like no other."

 

So bugger me, I'm in a play. It's been five solid years since I did one of these, so it's good to get back into this. There are seven actors in this play and 103 characters so it's going to be quite frenetic. I will be playing Warren Beatty, Richard Nixon and other illustrious roles as 'Jury 2' :D

 

Just throwing this topic out there to see if anyone is actually interested in seeing this. Will need to know by around Saturday for deffos, so I can inform the director and reserve the tickets. I'll be sorting some sort of account to pay into for ticket money but I wouldn't need it until the end of September. Tickets are only £9.50,

Please note this show contains nudity, scenes of a sexual nature, explicit language and subject matter so is not suitable for anyone under the age of 18.

Nov 25th - 29th, Kings Arms, Salford (just outside Manchester city centre).

Do you get naked in the play?

 

Also, there's a typo in the blurb (peeks, not peaks).

 

I say he should have worked it into to some double entendre, talk of big peaks behind the curtain and throbbing action or some such.

Hey everyone, three nights into our run, two more nights to go (spare ticket on the go if anyone wants it for free on me for Friday). We've got 5 stars. So I'm bloody chuffed at the moment :-)

Excellent. I did suggest it to the missus as she's nearer Manchester than me, but it's her work night out on Friday.

 

We usually end up having a get together with some friends in Salford after Christmas, so this could work out nicely.

This old topic. If anyones in the area I'm part of a series of shows called MOUTH, from JULY 21-24 at Taurus Bar on Canal Street. Four nights of monologues and shizzle, £5. No promises of Pie 'n' Peas.

 

Also Porno Chic is back next January for some more shows up north before a three week run in London. It's then being adapted into a musical for next summer.
