Curve 20 & 21 November 2015
“love found, lost and friendship forged”
Saturday Night Forever is a
powerful monologue of love found, lost and friendship forged from the ashes of
tragedy and all told in a delicious accent straight out of the Welsh Valleys.
It brought a tingle to the hairs on the back of my neck.
On a bare stage with an imaginative
wall of what looks like heated radiators imbued with LED lights that move and
change colour to effectively suggest
various locations, Delme Thomas’ Lee takes us on a roller coaster ride through his
disastrous love life as he extricates himself from the debris of his totally
unsuitable relationship with Matt. Resigning himself to Bridget Jones
singledom, Lee is completely unprepared for his meeting of a new love at a
party. Love blossoms and is taken away
violently one night.
By turns tragic and funny this
show is on tour until at least the end of the year. Full details can be found
on Facebook. Search for Saturday Night Forever Tour
