PURPLE DREAMS PRODUCTIONS present THE LAST CRUMB.
written and directed by Tobias Nicholls
Set in, and around a cake shop, everyone must decide what their heart truly wants…
lemon meringue or chocolate fudge!
A case of mistaken identity turns lives upside down –
Hearts will flutter, and tears will roll as this comedy tests relationships –
and not everyone will make it to the other side!
Excited to visit Broadbent Theatre again,
Purple Dreams are proud to present their ninth touring production, brand new for 2019!
PLUS – A FREE sweet treat for everyone in the audience during the interval!
15th June – 7.30pm
“TAKE SEVEN” is a production which celebrates the art of storytelling. If you are a fan of people-watching you will enjoy peeking into the lives of the characters which appear on stage and reveal to you their secrets, their hopes and fears. They will share with you the silly things that have happened to them, and their sadness too, they will weave their stories around you and create theatre magic. Written and directed by Gill Blow the stories include the award-winning ‘On the Bench’ – a poignant encounter between two people in a garden, and ‘Still Alive with Clive’ which tells the story of an Elvis impersonator who gets himself into hot water with his drainpipes. There is an ‘other-worldly’ tale of the strange ‘Mr. Sinclair’, and ‘Unravelled,’ Audrey’s story of dread and knitting all wound up together….the exceptional and experienced actors who have delighted audiences in recent years are looking forward to telling their stories at the Broadbent.
