FLUELLEN THEATRE COMPANY presents a second season of plays by Wales-based writers

Tickets are £5, £4 concessions, all performances start at 12.30pm
JANUARY 24th & 31st
DAI THE SPY
by RAY WILLIAMS
/It is 1969 and the Free Wales Army (Clydach branch) is plotting to blow up a pipeline supplying water to Liverpool. All that stands between them and success is Sergeant Price, a local policeman who makes Inspector Clouseau look like Sherlock Holmes! This is another terrific comedy of hilarious misunderstandings and great gags from Ray Williams whose previous plays, /To Whom It May Concern /and/ Ole! Mrs Roberts, /have delighted/ /Lunchtime Theatre audiences./
FEBRUARY 21st & 28th
CELEBULITE
by DEREK WEBB
/We live in a celebrity-obsessed society. So when Z-list celebs Victoria and Russell realise that, overnight, they have aged 20 years and put on 5 stone in weight respectively they are devestated. Is something sinister happening, or is this reality TV gone mad? This is a witty and thought-provoking play from Derek Webb whose/ Man`s View /was a big Lunchtime hit in the autumn./
MARCH 14th & 21st
PRESS STAR
by PETER READ
/Max is a man who is frustrated, angered and thwarted when dealing with businesses, organisations, _anyone _by telephone. Aren`t we all? His irritation at being just a reference number and talking to a recorded voice with several options is something we can all relate to. Peter Read /(Toshack Or Me!, To Hull And Back) /has written a brilliant comedy that will make you wary of ever using a telephone again!/
MARCH 28th & APRIL 4th
CONFESSIONS OFF BROADWAY
by LOUISE C. McLEOD
/Kennedi is in New York for the opening of her first play. So is her brother and so is her mother, Bea, a theatrical throwback to the 60s. With the first night looming, Kennedi is hiding a secret. Her brother is hiding a different secret. Just the wrong time to open a play and just the wrong time to have a mother like Bea around! Louise C McLeod`s first play is a superb adult comedy, with great wit, sparklingdialogue and memorable characters./
All Lunchtime Theatre productions commence at 12.30pm with a maximum running-time of 1 hour.
