The Carrot Nappers by Keith Large
A Carrot Nappers production directed by Anna Bond
Upstairs @ The Western, 24th & 25th
March 2018
“sharply written, pun riddled, double entendre laden.”
A very British comedy, The Carrot Nappers is set in the aphrodisiac
atmosphere of an allotment where prize winning vegetables are grown by gentlemen
of the earth like Albert. But hark, scandal strikes when a 17ft carrot is
stolen and out of work nightclub bouncer Vinnie is blamed for failing to guard
it.
A scheme is hatched whereby Onion Head, the thief, is to be
lured to the Love Shack, Albert’s hideout where he indulges his love of
specialist magazines. Steam engines! Onion Head is to be honey trapped by
Vinnie’s girlfriend (well one of them) Lisa who will steal his clothes and hold
them to ransom. His wife is to be informed if the carrot is not returned
forthwith.
This is a sharply written, pun riddled, double entendre
laden script worthy of any Carry On film.
A small cast of Peter
MacManus, Mark Theobold, Eleanor Burke and Chris Leaney have great fun with the
improbable story which, if I am honest, owes inspiration to Wallace &
Grommit.
Carrot Napper Productions is a Leicestershire based company
supporting local actors and writers.

The script has been published in book form to raise funds
for the Stroke Association. Copies available here https://goo.gl/zL3dWF
We had an excellent evening watching the Carrot Nappers. Brilliant acting, funny script and a great venue. I can't wait for the next instalment from this talented writer.
ReplyDeleteWe had a great evening watching this. Brilliantly written and very funny too! The actors played out their parts extremely well,
ReplyDeleteespecially the actress - she was excellent. I would recommend the Carrot Nappers, very entertaining. I'm also keen to see what else Keith Large writes.
Very 'Carry on' humour, some excellent actors and funny script. We thoroughly enjoyed it and the venue was great too. Can't wait for the film to me made....can I have a part in it? This is the firs play I have been to in a long time and has made us want to see more so thank you Keith.
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed the Carrot Nappers, lots of laughs, and innuendos - my favourite characters were 'Lisa' and 'Albert' who never failed to amuse.
ReplyDeleteCracking comedy!
