Thomas, a beleaguered playwright / director, is desperate to find an actress to play Vanda, the female lead in his adaptation of the classic sadomasochistic tale Venus In Fur. Into his empty audition room walks a vulgar and equally desperate actress, oddly enough, named Vanda. Though utterly wrong for the sophisticated part Vanda exhibits a strange command of the material, piquing Thomas’ interest with her seductive talents and secretive manner. As the two work through the script, they blur the line between play and reality, entering into an increasingly serious game of submission and domination that only one of them can win. A mysterious and erotic drama.

This is an event in aid of Cransley Hospice. Dave will sing some of his songs, tell stories and read excerpts from some of his books.

 Dave was born in the middle of the 20th Century in Cornwall. His family moved to London in 1962 and he spent the next 12 years immersed in the counter culture and underground music scene in West London. He learned to play the guitar and played his first gig in about 1968. In 1974 he moved to Northampton and after spells living in Broughton and Somerset he moved to Kettering in 1987. Following redundancy in the early 90s he began to concentrate on his music and has released an album of mainly self penned songs every couple of years. He also plays mandolin and bass guitar. He completed a number of national theatre and festival tours before ill health curtailed his touring in 2011. Not to be outdone he turned his hand to writing and to date has had six books published, with two more in production. In his show Dave will sing some of his songs, tell stories and read excerpts from his books. Proceeds from the evening will go to Cransley Hospice.

Jo has just moved her mum Glenda into the Woodlands Nursing Home and is trying to come to terms with their shifting roles. Glenda has dementia and is fretful, having left her imaginary ape Bobo behind – but at least she’s only stashing gateaux now instead of vodka, and her local police constabulary are waving goodbye with sweet relief. Larry the lorry driver has turned beautician and is in great demand, especially on the dance floor, while Dally the nurse glides through the mayhem bringing calm. A bittersweet comedic drama about alcohol, dementia and crawling out of the wreckage. This world premiere of a new play, written and directed by Kaye Vincent, promises laughter and tears, through family tales, hair curlers and hopi candles.
