THE
Riverside Drama Company will be back on stage at Long Eaton's Duchess
Theatre next month with a Sparkling double bill of one-act plays.
Following on from the triumph of comedy The Murder Room, Riverside
return with two memorable productions for the price of one in Ian
Armstrong's poignant look at family life in Growing Pains followed by
Stephen Dinsdale's look at the great British institution of
trainspotting in one-man show Anorak of Fire.
This stunning double-header will be performed at the Duchess Theatre on
Thursday July 11 and Friday July 12.
In Growing Pains, directed by Pat Tuffin, Frank and Mary Shaw have a
child after l2 years of interesting but unfulfilled marriage.
Through their poignant soliloquies, and scenes replayed from their son
Andrew's formative years, it is revealed how he becomes the centre of
their separate worlds.
Without wanting to leave Mary, it suits Frank to have a long running
affair.
When Mary finds out she smothers her own hurt, so that Andrew remains
emotionally secure.
At the age of 17, Andrew is seriously injured in a motorcycle accident.
The world has ended for Mary and Frank, unless they can come together
and draw strength and comfort from each Other.
Growing Pains stars Paul Norris and Liz Turner in the lead roles of
Frank and Mary with Bob Barron, Smith, Janet Bradbery, Miss Jameson,
John Lomas, headmaster, Eileen Chamberlain, matron, Holly Wilcockson,
nurse, Rachael Meller, 1st doctor, and Amy Holden, 2nd doctor,
completing the cast.
One-man show Anorak of Fire provides a brilliant vehicle for Martin
Holtom to captivate the audience as a quiet night at the station gives
our trainspotting hero Gus Gascoigne a chance to reflect on his life to
date, his loves and the joys of night spotting.
Most people probably wouldn't remember the first time they saw a train.
But Gus does.
Gus Gascoigne is a trainspotter. He has a one-track mind and a simple
mission - to spot every train in England. Tickets can be ordered on
