A chance to catch the brilliant new show from Tom Thumb favourite Ben Moor - "An English Wes Anderson" (Broadway World)
“I have always found that arriving somewhere early allows more time to daydream.”
An artist has three things to do today.
His new show is opening later, but first he has a family meeting, and before that there’s a funeral.
A single day can encompass the past, present and future; friends, family and strangers; the ridiculous, the moving and the inspirational.
Like life.
There’s talk of snacks, lies and videotapes; time, affinity and vertigo; good gullibility and unreliable phones.
A sell-out hit at last summer’s Edinburgh Fringe, A Three Thing Day won Four Star reviews across the board:
“Funny and startlingly well observed. . . Glorious.” THE SCOTSMAN ****
“Exceptional delicacy. . . shot through with warmth and poignancy.” THE STAGE ****
"Beautifully crafted. A magical experience." BRITISH THEATRE GUIDE ****
Ben Moor has been producing oddball storytelling shows for over 30 years. He is the creator of Elastic Planet and Undone for BBC Radio, and has appeared in Knowing Me, Knowing You, The IT Crowd, The Count of Monte Cristo and The Queen’s Gambit.
“Ben Moor, for my money, is the Ken Campbell/Spalding Gray of my generation, a natural storyteller who blurs the boundaries between comedy, theatre and performance art.”
