MUTTON DRESSED AS CHICKEN 03.06.08

Mutton

Marine Theatre, Lyme Regis

Friday 6 June  8pm

£12 (£11 conc) from Lyme TIC 01297 442138

Not able to book the Vagina Monologues for our theatre so when “Mutton” was offered I thought it would be even more fun. A unique and brilliantly funny comedy sketch show, “Mutton,” for the Marine Theatre, Lyme Regis  on Friday 6th June at 8.00 pm. It will appeal to women of all ages and the men that have to live with them!

From hot flushes (or ‘power surges’ as the girls like to call them!) and memory loss, to HRT... no subject is too taboo to tackle! These three women know more than most about juggling careers with demanding children, long suffering partners, too little money, overgrown gardens and never ending housework!  These fast and hilarious comedy sketches are not only for the Women who ' suffer' but for their men who will be ' oh so familiar' with what they see!!! Express and Star Wolverhampton wrote “This is an original stand up show where you leave with more laughter lines than you came in with'.' It has just been on a hugely successful tour which included ' sell out ' shows at The Lowry in Salford, Wolverhampton Arena and Yvonne Arnaud at Guildford.

This is your chance to see three 40/ 50 something ladies’ fresh and entertaining take on reaching that ‘certain age’ and all the trials and tribulations involved!

The three talented actresses are Jean Heard who has worked extensively in TV, film and on stage including No Sex Please We’re British at The Strand Theatre and TV’s The Bill, Donna Flinn’s whose wealth of experience has included touring in her own stand up show as well as performing regularly on tour with The New Seekers, and  RADA trained Julia Munrow has written for the National Film Theatre and appeared on stage in countless productions including most recently Underground at The Barbican.

“Short, very funny sketches by three excellent writer/performers” Edinburgh Metro

Stan  has played with the band since its inception and epitomises the core of rhythm and blues that the fans still love. Robert Muhl, a regular of the Marine theatre said when he heard they were returning "This is a night I will not want to miss, and I'll bring my boys, they're old enough to hear dad's favourites"

The band was formed in 1967 and reputedly named themselves after the chicken coop in  where they rehearsed.
