Five London premieres of Guy Masterson's award winning productions
THEATRE: Tue 20 January - Sun 8 February
Riverside Studios and Theatre Tours International proudly present five London premieres of Guy Masterson's award winning productions.
Follow Me
by Ross Gurney -Randall & Dave Mounfield.
Directed by Guy Masterson.
A multi award-winning hit at Edinburgh 2007, Follow Me dramatizes the meeting of Ruth Ellis - the last woman in Britain to be hanged - and Albert Pierrepoint, Her Majesty's Chief Executioner, leading us into the dark worlds of two killers in a tense, powerful snapshot of 1950's Britain.
American Poodle
by Brian Parks and Guy Masterson, directed by David Calvitto and Peter McNally.
An hysterically absurd take on the 'Special Relationship' from opposite sides of the pond. In two manic diametric ally opposed monologues, Guy Masterson romps through Britain's hapless loss of the "United Colonies' in Snowball and then shows us London's underside through Dickensian and hopelessly warped rose tinted glasses in the brilliant Splayfoot! Hilarious stuff! (Seen: Edinburgh 2007)
Adolf
Written & performed by Pip Utton, directed by Guy Masterson
The Führer's bunker, Berlin 1945. Hitler awaits his inevitable downfall. We are furnished with an acute anatomy of fascism; its ideological justifications, its poisoned utopias... Utton places us in the presence of an utterly compelling idealist and drags us helplessly into his warped logic. But there is a sting in the tail.
First seen in Edinburgh 1997, Adolf is now one of the most globally successful plays of the past decade.
Winner, Mervyn Stutter Spirit of the Fringe Award 1997
Bully
Written & performed by Richard Fry, directed by Guy Masterson
A taste for malice haunts the males of his bloodline, vampirically passing from grandfather to father to first born son with the exactitude of clock work but, spanning his life from tragic childhood to tainted adulthood, Bully movingly charts the inner afflictions of a well meaning soul who tries to break the cycle…... A must-see at Edinburgh 2008, Bully is a powerful, "moving tour-de-verse".
Goering's Defence
By Ross Gurney-Randall, Guy Masterson & Andrew Bailey.
Directed by Guy Masterson
Herman Goering was the system; inventor of the Luftwaffe, creator of the Gestapo, instigator of the Concentration Camp yet he considered himself a gentleman, art lover, honourable soldier. His own defence in Nuremberg was astounding; logically
brilliant, yet morally indefensible. A smash at Edinburgh 2001, Ross Gurney-Randall's Goering is a terrifying incarnation... edgy, poetic and deeply challenging showing how evil can triumph over morality when power is at stake.
