Monday 22 June, 7.30pm - DANCING TO THE SOUND OF CRUNCHING SNAILS by Joe Graham
Dancing to the Sound of Crunching Snails is a bittersweet comedy about families. It’s Boxing Day. Katy can’t relax without the sound of Strauss’ Blue Danube Waltz playing at full volume, which means Sam can’t concentrate on his solo game of Buckaroo. Sara, Katy’s sister
is a straight-talker, but she has gone behind Katy’s back to speak to Howard (their partly estranged father). With Howard about to arrive at any moment, Katy’s doing nibbles, Sara’s standing her ground, and Sam is trying to set up ‘Hungry Hippos’. And no-one knows just what
lies in store.
Joe Graham has had professional productions at the Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham, and the Bristol Old Vic (among others) and was commissioned to write two new pantomimes for the Palace Theatre, Watford. His play, The Goldfish Bowl, was written in workshop with a group pf secondary school students for Sixth Sense Theatre Company and toured 40 schools. He has his own theatre company, Balancing Act, (www.balancingact.co.uk).
