Pretty Evil by Rhodri Hales, produced by Hivemind Theatrical Solutions
A Leicester Comedy Festival presentation
Upstairs @ The Western, 21-22 February 2019
“the love child of Austin Powers and Monty Python”
Costumed villains have been defeated and the world, or at
least this little bit of England, is costume villain free. Until, that is,
three wannabee villains in shoddy costumes get together to try and bring evil
back to the world. Very quickly on the case is Diane Newsmore, a dodgy news
anchor more at home on Fox News and with just as much of a grip on actual
facts.
Add into the mix two community support workers tasked with
getting to the root of the costumed felons’ use of the community centre and you
have the love child of Austin Powers and Monty Python in the ludicrously
hilarious capers in comic book adventures.
Author Rhodri Hales plays Dr Thunder, the ‘brains’ behind the
gang; Lucy Ann Jones is The Lady Killer, the cynical, world weary one just
making up the numbers and Matt Garside is Mega Matt, the completely clueless
one with lame ideas. Three more actors make up the company.
Pretty Evil is on at Upstairs at The Western again tomorrow
(Friday)
