Wrightson Seeta Wrightson describes
herself as “A 5ft 2in, fast-talking, proud Bradfordian”. The 33-year-old uses her own
life experiences to talk about her dual heritage and finds the funny in
navigating the world as a brown, mixed-race woman, who grew up with no money
and lots of attitude. Seeta said: “There are not
many Asian mixed race, female comedians around, so yes I talk about it.”
“I’ve always been a bit dramatic anyway so it suits me to be on stage talking
about everything.” Final act TBC Tickets In Advance £13/ On The Door £15 |

The Office Party By John
Godber 11th - 14th May 2022 Everyone has a different
story to tell - or forget, in some cases - about the annual office party.
John Godber’s play pays a visit to the offices of Chapman & Howard, a
small marketing firm, just in time for the annual bash when the traditional
bonhomie quickly gives way to titillations and tears. From the opening moments,
when the first eager few have arrived to kick off the celebrations of
clinching a prestigious and lucrative account, we see the growing sense of
both professional and personal frustrations among the copywriters,
accountants, graphic artists, secretaries and the managing director himself
as everyone tries to get into the party spirit, all the time misreading body
language and other signals, culminating in a party night they’d all rather
forget. Just who will show their face tomorrow - and more important, who
won’t - or will they simply let the photocopier’s record of the evening speak
for itself? The Office Party offers a hilariously funny yet poignant
exploration of just exactly why people behave as they so often do when faced
with self-consciousness - and over-confidence - in such circumstances. |
