Kelly Kan Do

April 11th brings us a sitcom by the men who wrote Sorry! Peter Vincent and Ian Davidson.

Kelly (35) has seen her husband stolen away by the appalling Polly. She is left with just a flat and a cat. Determined to bounce back she will do anything legal to survive. But Polly has other ideas - and what side will Bongo the cat come down on?

The evening will give plenty of time for discussing what works in comedy formats for TV by these two veteran comedy writers.

7.30 at the North London Tavern.

Away Like Snow

Monday 14th March brings us a stageplay written by Peter Vincent and Mary Conway. Given that both have won P-P awards as individuals, their collaboration should be doubly as good.

As Peter explains:

"Time present and time

Are both perhaps present in time future
And time future contained in time past...'

T.S.Eliot said that, still does, always will. Why not?

'Away Like Snow' is set in a family home that lies between Romney Marsh and the endless sound of the sea. The time is 1940. It is also 1999. The times are indivisible. Each flows, merges and conjoins with the other. Our ancestors live on within us. just as we live on in the next generation. Not only their genes but their times are moving within us.
Beware! The sweet song of temptation is heard by all of at all times. The lady still sits in her chamber late, the gypsies still sing at her castle gate,
And her heart still melts. Still melts - away like snow.
