Britain's What's On Event Guide
Dressing Gown
Take Note Theatre for the Tabard and Thursday Theatre presents
DRESSING GOWN
by Andrew Cartmel
“When all you are trying to do is get dressed”
Tom Asher has two immediate aims. To prevent his life tipping into catastrophe. And to get dressed.
It turns out neither will be easy — in fact both rapidly escalate towards impossibility — as he fends off a series of eccentric visitors whose sole aim seems to be test his patience, his professionalism, his sanity — and his resolve not to be dragged into a disastrous liaison with an alluring young woman who really just wants revenge on her boyfriend, who just happens to be Tom’s best friend and his business partner. What unfolds is an hilarious series of events, underscoring the significance of the simple (or complicated) act of getting dressed.
Andrew Cartmel’s previous shows include acclaimed runs at the OSO Arts Theatre, the Hen and Chickens and the White Bear. He is well known for his celebrated tenure as script editor on Doctor Who and his Vinyl Detective and Paperback Sleuth series of crime novels. Mercurius Theatre’s Offie Nominated Jenny Eastop is on board to direct, with recent shows at The Park Theatre, Finborough and Riverside Studios. This is Andrew and Jenny’s second collaboration following on from As Real as Anything.
Dressing Gown is a riotous comedy that demonstrates how even the most innocent conversation can land you in deep trouble. And how hard it is, some days, just to get dressed…
Playing at the Tabard for a limited 12 performance run over 3 weeks.
