Krimson Kestrel Theatre Co presents
Written by Vaughan Evans
Directed by Harry Saks
16th - 20th April 2024
It’s good to be woke, right? But can wokeness be undemocratic? Or harmful?
Two households live in adjacent terraced housing. Elaine is a feminist social worker divorcee, living with Richard, her PhD tenant. Next door, Steve, a neanderthal scaffolder, lives with Val, his downtrodden, yet aspirational, wife.
Their lives are worlds apart, bar one thing: Steve wants Richard in his pub darts team. The response of the two households to issues of identity, let alone their inter-relationships, evolve in ways both dramatic and humorous.
Might they experience a Rude Awokening?!
Ram & Crab Theatre Presents
By Eddie Cunningham & Hamish Douglas
23rd - 27th April 2024
1981, Shepherds Bush,
Pete Simmons and Alan Barrett have returned to their hometown to rehearse for their eagerly anticipated reunion concert. They used to rub shoulders with the great pop artists of the early sixties, jamming with Townsend & Daltrey, smoking with Lennon & McCartney, and drinking with Jagger & Richards. The last decade, however, has seen their fortunes divide. Loved but outdated, their attempts to stay relevant have had mixed results, but the real struggle is whether they can overcome their tempestuous past.
The Ram & Crab Theatre Company presents Parallel Fifths, a comedy inspired by the fortunes and failures of our most loved troubadours. This folk-pop farce asks the question, what if Simon & Garfunkel met This Is Spinal Tap?
The Ram & Crab Theatre Company was formed in 2018 by Hamish Douglas and Eddie Cunningham, with the objective of bringing entertaining and playful productions to the many fantastic pub theatres around the country.
Both graduating from the University of the West of England in drama and creative writing, Hamish and Eddie have worked together on a multitude of different shows but have always had a passion for comedic performances. After covid halted the production of Parallel Fifths, they are excited to finally showcase the first original show under the banner of the Ram & Crab Theatre Company.
