This week I’m playing Alex Salmond, Jim Murphy and a host of other characters in “Leaving George“, a sharp and funny satire based on the Scottish Independence Referendum.
I’m lucky enough to be working with SpartaKi Theatre again (having worked with them in “Inky Darkness” 2008).
“Leaving George“
Happy with the result last September? Here’s your chance to have another vote! Andrea almost left George last year but they decided to stay together. He promised change and made a vow. They had marriage counselling with Mr. Smith, but Andrea is swithering again. Now the couple are on a tabloid talk show to discuss their differences. A procession of recognisable Referendum characters, including the couple’s children Ric and Margo, George’s brother David and Andrea’s friends Nicola and Alex, come on to give advice. Then the audience decide. Independence for Andrea? Or are they Better Together? And what happens next? (www.facebook.com/SpartaKi.Theatre)
