Just in case you didn’t know… I'm back involved with a new
theatre company in Guildford, namely Guildford Fringe Theatre Company. I'm
onboard as an associate producer and director and we've got some very cool
stuff coming up this year.
Our first show is the musical, John & Jen, which is on at the Star Inn at the bottom of
Guildford High Street. It starts Thursday 8 May and runs until Saturday 17
May 2014.
It's a cracking show and there’s additional information
below if you fancy an evening out:
John & Jen, the acclaimed and moving American musical, will be Guildford Fringe
Theatre Company’s first show of 2014.
John
& Jen is a two-hander set in the USA and follows the funny, tender and
moving relationship between a brother and a sister, and a mother and a son.
Written
by Andrew Lippa and Tom Greenwald, the show opened Off-Broadway in 1995 to rave
reviews, and this staging, from 7-17 May at The Back Room of The Star Inn, will
offer a rare chance to see this little-performed modern classic.
And, in something
of a coup for local drama, two acclaimed actors are joining Guildford Fringe
Theatre Company to take on the title roles.
John is
being played by Martin Neely, whose previous work has included Les Miserables
(West End) and Mary Poppins (UK Tour), while Jessica Sherman, whose previous
work includes Lend Me A Tenor (Vienna) and Batman Live (World Arena Tour), will
play the role of Jen.
The show
runs from 7-17 May 2014 at The Back Room of The Star Inn, Quarry Street,
Guildford, GU1 3TY. Tickets are available by phone on 0844 8700 887 or from the
Tourist Information Centre, High Street Guildford.
So, if you’re kicking your heels and you fancy a night
out, give us a try.
