Comedy solo show comes to Lancaster on April 27

Amid deep snow and icy winds a man and woman make a train journey home. As the train becomes stuck attempting to navigate a drift-too-far, they’re brought together and fall slowly in love with each other. Surrounded by driving rain and the smell of earthy damp, a man sits on a bus. He is going to tell the love of his life that she is the one. He’s not seen her for six years but is certain that she is the missing thing from his life. In an excessively central-heated house, an elderly mother listens to the voicemails left by her son. She listens to his doubts, his dreams and his hopes. In a theatre a performer tries to win an audience with his story of love, fate, chance & hope. The story might be about him. Finally, on a sunny hilltop, a young boy sits on a bright red bike. He looks down the slope into the vanishing distance, pulls on his helmet and releases the brake.

Every Little Hope You Ever Dreamed (But Didn’t Want To Mention) tells five stories that start separately and in isolation before gradually coming together as themes, characters, objects, words and callbacks combine in a rom-com for the lonely-hearted.

The 10-venue tour finishes at The Dukes, Lancaster on Wednesday, April 27. Tel: 01524 598500.
