A heads up of a forthcoming production at the Roses Theatre in Tewkesbury that I've been asked to mention...
Thanks for your help with my one-man show, Football Fanatical: An A-Z of the Beautiful Game, which I'm performing at the Roses Theatre in Tewkesbury on Tuesday 15th May. Attached please find a few reviews, the latest press release, some song lyrics and poems and a pdf of my flyer.
I'm a freelance broadcaster and journalist and I report on football for Talksport. For the last two years, I've been performing the show in village halls, community centres, libraries and football clubs in Lincolnshire, Hampshire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Lancashire via the rural touring network and I’m now starting to find work on the arts centre / smaller theatre / studio theatre circuit after receiving a very encouraging response from audiences, promoters and reviewers. I've done the show in theatres and arts centres in places like Sudbury, Derby, Rotherham, Boston and Stafford this year.
Essentially, the family show is a light-hearted look at the language used by everyone involved in football. It’s based on the length of a game – roughly two hours including a 15-minute interval - and features local radio commentaries, post-match quotations from players and managers and a few poems and songs about people such as the Beckhams, Sven-Goran Eriksson, Steve McClaren, Jose Mourinho, Wayne Rooney, Theo Walcott and Thierry Henry. I also invite the audience to sing along in a special version of Who ate all the pies? about famous fat footballers and I play the commentaries via a hand-held control from the stage.
As well as the attached reviews, promoters at village halls at Waters Upton in Shropshire and Stoke Prior in Herefordshire have recently described the show as “a very funny, clever entertainment” and “a farrago of fun about football…a good value performance.”
I hope this gives you an idea of what you can expect at Tewkesbury. We kick off at 8.30 pm and tickets - priced at £7 - are available from the box office on 01684 - 295074 or at the door on the night. I'd be very grateful for any pre-event publicity you can give me and if you need any more information, please don't hesitate to contact me. I think David suggested you would be able to alert the supporters trust about the show.
Many thanks for your time.
