The Wait is Nearly Over

I’m beyond excited to be putting my play ‘Duty’ on at the Brighton Fringe. The actors are inhabiting their characters, they bring the script to life and make these people live. I have to say, it’s really perfect casting. Perfect. Matt Vickery brings such intensity to the character of John, it’s riveting to watch, utterly compelling. Jordan Southwell’s creation of Harry is absolutely brilliant: the perfect foil for John to butt heads with: cheeky, innocent, and so loveable. Jake Marchant is so still, calm and poised as Joe, pouring oil on the waters of their friendship with beautiful diplomacy, tact and intelligence. And between them they create this very real friendship that just feels like they have been friends forever, with their humour, their way of behaving with each other and the grounded dynamic. Sam Nixon as Mags, John’s mum, adds so much to the melting pot and gives us a huge insight into not only her relationship with her son, but in their interactions together we get to see so much more of John, and how others see him, his internal thinking, struggles and motivations. It’s quite simply a joy to watch them all work.

It’s at the Lantern Theatre, Brighton, from Thursday 22 to Sunday 25 May.

Don’t miss it. Honestly, this is well worth an hour of your time.

In the meantime, here are some photos! See you there,

Duty Previews at the Lantern Theatre

We are so excited to be sharing a little snippet from Duty at the Lantern Theatre Fringe Preview Evening at 7.00 on 1st May! It’s more than a snippet, it’s the first scene. We are buzzing.

We’re also looking forward to seeing what else is on offer this Fringe at the Lantern. Last year I booked shows on the strength of what I saw, and two of my favourite shows from the entire Fringe last year were on at the Lantern. Fingers crossed for this year too.

See you there!
