ROMANTIC COMEDY WITH A TWIST
|
Fresh from a successful run at the Edinburgh Festival, comedians Simon Munnery and Miles Jupp bring a love story with a difference to the Muni Arts Centre, Pontypridd on Saturday 4 October at 8.00pm in Elizabeth & Raleigh – Late But Live, a new comedy from Stewart Lee.
The relationship between Sir Walter Raleigh and his questionably virgin queen has long been pondered upon. Comedian Stewart Lee’s new play takes this idea and runs with it – in all kinds of directions as the surreal, larger-than-life show relates the supposed love story of these two great historical figures. Walter is in love with Elizabeth, the spiritual embodiment of England, but will he end up in her bed, or will he lose his head? Potatoes, tobacco, Elizabethan dance, cross-dressing, xenophobia and laughs galore from the team behind Johnson And Boswell: Late But Live, which played to critical acclaim at the Traverse Theatre during the 2007 Edinburgh festival.
Stewart Lee co-wrote and directed the Olivier award winner Jerry Springer – The Opera. As well as various TV and radio credits both with comedy partner Richard Herring and in his own right, Lee regularly works in the theatre, including with Johnny Vegas on the play Interiors for Manchester International Festival. Simon Munnery is a Perrier-nominated comedian who has performed around the world to great acclaim. His BBC2 series Attention Scum! was nominated for the Golden Rose of Montreux. Miles Jupp is perhaps best known as Archie the Inventor in the BBC series Balamory, but he is also a successful comedian with accolades including the So You Think You’re Funny award and a Perrier nomination.
Tickets for this snortingly funny comedy are £12.50 and available now from the Muni Box Office on 01443 485934. Unsuitable for under 16’s.
