The Miserables
The Miserables was a show for anybody who’s ever hated their job. Taking familiar tunes from Les Miserables and reimagining them in an office setting where everybody’s unhappy, the show had two runs at the Etcetera Theatre in London before travelling to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2016. We played to sold out audiences most days and came home with an award for Best Comedy.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “The audience leaves humming some very familiar tunes, and with a smile.” London Theatre 1
⭐⭐⭐⭐ “My face hurt from smiling and laughing so much.” Everything Theatre
“This is one of those shows the festival is all about. A hidden gem you feel proud of unearthing.” Darkchat
Pick of The Programme: “The lyrics are clever, and make for the perfect parody” Broadway World
“A quirky and entertaining piece, it has the added benefit of being cathartic for anyone who is sick of their 9 to 5 and in need of a good old parody of the daily humdrum” Fringe Guru
Alf – Coming Soon!
Alf is a new play based on the true story of Alfred Wallis. A retired fisherman turned amateur painter, Alf is discovered by two celebrated artists visiting his home town of St Ives. He is hailed as a genius, and becomes the toast of the London art scene for his ‘naive’ artistic style, which is really just… the way someone might paint if they never learned how. All he wanted was a quiet retirement but instead Alf is thrust into a world he doesn’t understand by people who don’t understand him. Who would honestly think ‘artist’ is a proper job? Why are rich people who act like they’ve never seen a boat so interested in pictures of them? And why the hell do people seem to think it might take more than a couple of hours to paint a whole picture? Alf is a funny and relevant examination of class, creativity, and the value of art.
