In February and March I will be playing the male lead in the UK tour of “Passing Through”, a new romantic comedy by Alistair Rutherford.
I have produced the play myself with my own company Peapod Productions. The last play I produced by Alistair received critical acclaim and packed houses. Hopefully we can repeat that success with this new production!
“Passing Through”
A new romantic comedy by Alistair Rutherford
Directed by Andy Corelli
Music by Brendan Musk
Produced by Peapod Productions
Cast: Anna Guthrie and Philip Kingscott
Passing Through is set on a wet winter’s night. At the Dockers Social Club there’s been a terrible mistake. They booked ‘The Ace of Spades’ thinking it was a Motorhead tribute band, but they got Tommy the Magician instead. Tommy made a sharp exit and is nursing a pint and a bruised ego in the pub down the road when Alice stomps in from the rain. She’s soaked, been stood up and that’s it, she’s had it forever with romance.
What neither of them know is that some magic might just be round the corner. Or is true love just another conjuring trick, a sleight of hand?
