Worth a Flutter

In life love doesnt always run to the form guide 4/1 Matt the gambler with a dysfunctional brain, heart and penis. Might need more experience 9/5 F. Paige the bookies favourite who is as shallow as she is devious, an obvious choice 20/1 Helen the outsider, a few skeletons in the closet but has experience if past doesnt haunt her 7/2 Sam suffering from a broken marriage and loss but might have enough to take the spoils, safe hands WORTH A FLUTTER is a dark, hard hitting comedy that covers life, love and loss as we follow Matt and Sam as they compete for Helens affections. We see the dark and tragic past of four broken characters to see what has lead them to this point and how they try to move forward. Broken marriages, loss, domestic violence and a dysfunctional member. No wonder true love never runs smoothly. Off the back of writer Michael Heads past two successful shows comes the writers hardest hitting and most comic show to date! Cast includes Adele Silva (Emmerdale) and Paul Danan (Hollyoaks) Previous praise for Michael Heads work includes: Touching and moving, Heads writing will make you laugh and cry The Stage Head Lampoons all aspects of society with great skill, great fun Boyz Magazine Jokes come thick and fast, great antidote to current affairs Southwark News More laughs than at any show I can recall Broadway World Box Office opens at 7.00pm for cash sales and collection of pre-booked tickets.
