One-Off Events
Double Bill: Yorkshire Kernel and The Land Girl by Badapple Theatre Company
|
On Friday 6th October starting at 7.30pm.
CONTINUING BADAPPLE’S 25TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS ‘YORKSHIRE KERNEL’ AND ‘THE LAND GIRL’ IS A BRILLIANT ‘DOUBLE BILL’ OF ENTERTAINMENT – TWO THEMATICALLY LINKED PLAYS IN ONE EVENING! Yorkshire Kernel written by Danny Mellor with music by Jez Lowe- performed by Richard Galloway Yorkshire Kernel is a witty and fast paced theatrical journey where one actor takes on all the characters in this comic and nostalgic tale. James’s Grandad is at death’s door, but he has one last mission: to find a tree. Many trees in fact, scattered around the country in memory of his Second World War comrades. And James needs just one acorn to plant where his Grandad wishes to be laid to rest. Simple? You’d think so. But divided between being haunted by his plain-speaking grandfather, his mother rekindling her romance with an old flame, and James’s pregnant partner, Rosie, thinking he is cheating on her, Mellor’s “bonkers” solo show undertakes a journey of Yorkshire wit and grit through one man’s determination to leave a long-lasting legacy. The Land Girl by Kate Bramley, with songs by Jez Lowe- performed by Ellen Carnazza Inspired by actual stories of Yorkshire Land Army “Girls” collected by Kate Bramley back in 2009, this new one-woman performance showcases some of the highs and lows of working on the land during wartime. From ration books to rat-catching, acres of onions to the American Air Base dances, tap your feet and laugh along to songs and stories that capture the “can-do” spirit of the ladies who kept Britain fed during the hardships of World War II. “if you get chance to see this show do, for it is an engaging and uplifting experience” – YORK PRESS. Tickets: £12, U16 £6 from 01642 700112 or pottovillagehall@gmail.com or any member of the committee. |

Done to Death, by Jove! by Gavin Robertson & Nicholas Collett
On Friday 17th November, starting at 7.30pm
Done to Death, by Jove! by Peter Mould
The Great British Detective tradition! Holmes and Watson meet Poirot and Miss Marple (alongside the usual suspects) in a spoof homage - who murdered Lady Fanshawe!? Why is Matron Maudesly so friendly with one of the guests at the Clinic of Hopes and Cures!? Why have the sound cues got mixed up?
Made all the more tricky to tell, as theatrical knights, Sir Gavin of Robertson and Sir Nicholas of Collett attempt this 6-actor show, given the other 4 are stuck in a broken-down van on the M6. With only the two of them to play all the assigned roles, what could possibly go wrong?
Re-interpreting 'The Art of Coarse Acting' with a farcical result, it's time to guess WhoDunWhat and how...
Warning: Contains hats!
Reviews from August 2022 from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival -
"Hilarious and quite brilliant! The super-talented twosome assume various guises, even playing scenes holding multiple hats, representing the absentee cast. Holmes and Watson (their main roles) become a multitude of characters ,and, sometimes it's hard to tell what is impeccably rehearsed and what is impishly improvised.
Either way they act their hearts out. The sweat pours, the laughs roar, and the audience give a well-deserved standing ovation. Equal plaudits to Nicholas Collett and Gavin Robertson, who brilliantly saved the day. If you can only see one show at the Festival, see this! Excellent, by Jove!" Kevin Short, The International Times
"...a true collaborative partnership showcasing Robertson and Collett's prolific talent - comedy gold!" Broadway Baby
"Both actors are fine examples of their creed. That they have found themselves in a medium which suits them perfectly makes our joy all the more widespread. Their ribbing each of the other is tremendous and adds to the plot as we also get to hear the machinations of a touring company as well as the petty jealousies that can bubble and threaten but often just bubble back down again.
Comic timing is impeccable". FringeReview
