Fri30thJun7:30pm

When Alan‘s (Seth Jones) car crashes, his bad day (which started with the end of his marriage) gets worse as he comes across a campsite, run by the strange Virgil (Mark Keegan).

Lost with no phone signal, he’s no choice but to stay. Unfortunately, there’s only one plot – situated in-between a sheep-poo bin and a tent belonging to the extremely annoying Justin (David J. Keogh).

Alan despises Justin – a positive family man with his life in control… or is he?

Things aren’t as they seem, and tension builds as they reveal their true selves… with hilarious, unfortunate consequences.

‘Past Tents’ is about two desperate people at the end of their tent ropes, forced into each other’s company. Will they find redemption or kill each other? And what exactly is Virgil doing with those sheep traps?

A funny, dark, moving comedy which contains adult themes & language – recommended 16+

Past Tents is the third play written by both Seth and David at Stuck Productions and has received numerous 5 star reviews from previous performances.

 

Recommended age 16+

The performance will be followed by a Q&A with the cast, and an opportunity to network in the bar afterwards!

As well as the performance and the Q and A that follows, we have actors from Cue 34 theatre company entertaining the audience in the foyer beforehand and actor Georgie Minter-Brown offering a self-tape surgery with tips and advice to get the best results from a self-tape audition!
