| Set: | Contemporary and
versatile, changed by the cast as part of the action. The setting varies from the London Underground to a bedroom; from a theatre agent's office to a boutique . . . . and more! All can be symbolic. |
| Synopsis: | Young singer /
songwriter Martin Cole's new single reaches the pop charts and he discovers
that being successful is not what he expected. Pressure from local radio DJ's,
his agent and the advertising moguls closes in on him and on his relationships
with his very ordinary family, girl friend and other friends. With an "Elvis-type" spoof of a nightmare, a gaggle of performing Brownies and a chaotic film-set sequence, this piece offers great scope for imagination, versatility and humour. |
