Frankie Fightwell Rehearsal Photos

~ Chris B.

Rehearsals for ‘The Final Adventure of Frankie Fightwell’ are underway. It’s always a lovely feeling to see and hear your words come to life for the first time; a feeling that as a play-write I don’t think I will ever get old. There are more rehearsal photos on the Blackshaw Theatre blog. You definitely won’t want to miss my “gosh, did I really write that?” face, my “haha oh wow I’m hilarious” face and my “it’s pretty warm in here, perhaps I should take off my jumper?” face!

The Final Adventure of Frankie Fightwell – Tickets On Sale Now!

~ Chris B. ~ 2 Comments

Over the past few months I’ve spent more and more time talking about my new play, ‘The Final Adventure of Frankie Fightwell’. Now, I’m pleased to announce that the dates are set and tickets are now on sale!

If you came to see my last play, ‘The Haunting of Exham Priory’, then…well, this is something entirely different! For a start, this is a radio play, so the performance will be recorded (with live Foley sound effects) and then later aired on Wandsworth radio.

So what’s it all about? ‘The Final Adventure of Frankie Fightwell’ is a dark comedy about principles, money, and the importance of family. Stuart is a writer and creator of the beloved Young Adult literature heroine Frankie Fightwell. When Stuart’s agent delivers some bad news, Stuart soon comes to realise that there might be more than just the usual vampire sharks and giant Nazi man-spiders preventing Frankie from making it to the end of her latest adventure. But Frankie – and Stuart – aren’t going down without a fight!

There will be two performances at the Putney Arts Theatre; one on Friday 11th May and one on Saturday 12th May. Tickets are available to book at the link below.

Tickets are £9.50 or £7.50 for concessions. Or, if you book your tickets before 1st April then there is an ‘Early Bird’ special all tickets are available at the cheaper concession rate. I hope to see you there!
