(Please note that as this is a visiting production, it is not included as part of Whitefield Garrick Theatre Club Membership)From the writer Martin Paul Roche, one evening and two stories.On each of the 17th and 18th July New To You Theatre brings two touching monologue plays:Ancient & Modern
Stella is now of an age where she realises that she is from a different age. And now, on Christmas Eve and alone, she is forced by circumstances, surrounded by recollections and shadows and conditioned by expectations, to consider her life - the two worlds she inhabits, both ancient and modern. As she sits waiting for her taxi to arrive to take her to midnight mass, her perceptions of her life gently and unwittingly collide with humour and sincerity. The collisions cause wholly unexpected personal revelations to appear. Albeit quicker than Stuart from Speedy Cabs.
Last Bus to Whitby
Last Bus to Whitby is a play about resonance and honesty with oneself; about finding peace. It explores in a gentle, innocent and bygone way, how happiness and self-fulfilment, do not, for some, require other people or wealth to make them a reality. All it sometimes needs is a stranger to listen and the opportunity to talk. But lifes journey sometimes hands us the most unexpected of opportunities to find our own perfect moment and within it, much needed clarity and peace of mind. And clarity of mind can be found in the most surprising of places.
