A double bill of uplifting comedies written by Johnny McKnight and directed by Julie Brown
Random Accomplice, Scotland’s premier touring company, are delighted to present a double bill of ingenious, hilarious and incredible stories – Mary Massacre and Seven Year Itch – under the banner DOUBLE NUGGET.
MARY MASSACRE
Set against the backdrop of a local fair, this is a bittersweet, emotional rollercoaster of a story about two women waiting at the candyfloss machine on Irvine Moor.
Strangers to begin with, Leyla and Jenny unknowingly share a light-hearted secret and a love of psychics, but underneath their overlapping stories runs a tale of deceit, loss and betrayal. Neither is aware that they will change each other’s lives forever.
SEVEN YEAR ITCH
The true story of the brutal slaying of an office worker in America is interwoven with the delightfully flamboyant tales of two Glasgow office workers, one of whom is obsessed with Dolly Parton.
It is for the daydreamer who looks at the stapler with murderous intent, for anyone who thinks about shredding their co-workers’ fingers and for those who sing out loud and proud at their desk. A chilling tale packed full of frivolity!
Originally produced for the Magners Comedy Festival in 2009.
Mary Massacre and Seven Year Itch are mirror images of one another – one is celebrating the glossy and cosmetic, with hidden horrors that slowly surface to unravel the story. The other is unashamedly upfront about certain atrocities, interspersed by trivial, mundane stories of everyday life.
The two address aspects of the darker side of human nature, playing with secrets and lies. Both are emotional, current and poignant.
And both are truly funny.
**** “a tremendously vivid show… features an unobtrusively excellent script that turns on a sixpence between looming tragedy and brilliant comic one-liners … some striking ironic choreography.” The Scotsman, Joyce McMillan on Seven Year Itch (2009)
