MY PLAY - A Good Sub Story

[PeckhamRose]

Hi all

At last, and I apologise for keeping you waiting. We are now up and running and open Thursday. A GOOD SUB STORY is a play about an estranged father-son relationship, set against the background of people who are happily living in fulfilling Dominant/submissive relationships. It's their families and careers that screw them up.... This is not a kid's show, but an intelligent and controversial exploration of the people who find this way of life attractive. People like your neighbours, friends, doctor, lawyer, shop assistant, you?

Details are:

Well done! Interesting sub-ject.

[PeckhamRose]

Thank you. Now where's those journalist reviewer folks from this site....

[Jah Lush]

Good luck with this but shouldn't it be Sob rather than Sub?

[Fear 'n boozin]

Have you seen the poster Jah?!?!

[Jah Lush]

No, but..oh shit, I have now. Right...submission. Should have checked the poster first.

[citizenED]

And there I was thinking it was a clever play on words; a production about the personal lives of some sub-editors, or life on a submarine, or even the day-to-day travails of life in a famous sandwich shop. Then I looked at the poster. Oh, my pure and innocent mind.

[Fear 'n boozin]

think it looks like fun [not that I'm into this kind of thing or anything!]

*honest!*

[Keef]

So, *shufles on the spot* er, who's the chick?

[dulwichmum]

Wow, congratulations Peckhamrose! How cool is that?

My mother would murder me for writing a story involving whips and unmarried people being intimate, not that I am repressed or anything...

Good for you!

[PeckhamRose]

Thank you thank you.

Some of my actors have never been involved in this, but they bloody are now.

I would be so honoured and delighted if some of you would come.

I shall be there every night.

Who's the chick? Well she is none other than Lady Sarah of the FemDomSociety (dot com) and the artist she commissioned to draw her and her sub is SARDAX.com They both gave me permission to use the picture for the flier.

Yes, do come, but leave the little ones at home....

Any questions, feel free to email me.

[PeckhamRose]

Ladies & Gentlemen, Doms & subs, Tops and bottoms, WE HAVE A SHOW!

[PeckhamRose]

Hope some of you will find time to pop up to Kentish Town and see this.

Afterwards, sit in the pub and get over the shock (!) then ask a cast member for Sam South. I'll be there. Would be nice to meet you....

[SeanMacGabhann]

will definitely try and make it up in the next week or two PR

[PeckhamRose]

Khewl

Make it end of the week rather than beginning, as audiences are livelier. Dunno why!

We end Sunday 9th Dec @ 6pm (and Tues to Sats 7.30pm)

Tonight was me evening off and I cooked like a girl. Whatever that means.

[PeckhamRose]

It's going well. Some audiences are bigger than others (theatre only holds 40).

Come say hello to me after in the pub tho!

Bit of a trek, I know.

End Sunday 9th December. Maybe an EDF group theatre outing could be arranged!

Until I read the thread I thought this play would be about life in a black tubular underwater vessel - which I might have attended. Oh well - back to waiting for the Navy LArk to be repeated on Radio 4.

[lozzyloz]

Anyone from the EDF been to see it yet? Brendan, you do write good reviews!

[PeckhamRose]

Marmora Man, sorry to disappoint. It's not about that at all.... Hope you can make it. I wrote it. My heart went into it. The actors have put their heart into it. It's very difficult to get shows put on and they're working for free and they are absolutely fabulous. :D http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/theatre/show-23378623-details/A+Good+Sub+Story/showReview.do

Hoorah!

[PeckhamRose]

Hi everyone. Don't know if any of you turned up yet but the last week of this amazing play is upon us. The audiences have been incredibly enthusiastic and positive about it. It is on Tuesday to Saturday 7.30pm and the last night is Sunday 9th December at 6.00pm. Take a leap of faith - enjoy a play by a local writer about a sensitive provocative subject and have a laugh too. All the information is at the top of the topic. :)

Hi everyone, reviews below!

"Well I went tonight and have to say I really enjoyed it. I don't want to give too much of the plot away because it has more than enough twists and turns but you really will miss out if you miss this one. There were a lot of subtle lines and a lot of knowing snigger's from the audience and a fair few familiar faces as well. Come to think of it the lead actor did remind me of someone I used to see at ST a few years ago. Well worth going to see, its a small and intimate venue and I sat on the back row with a couple of trouble makers. Hopefully one of them will do a more complete review as a weblog later, her trade off for blagging a chew from behind the bar." David M

"Excellent play. Just got back. Thanks fD for recommending it.

Powerful psychological drama set amongst a series of interconnecting couples within the BDSM scene, all unfolding with lots of surprises and excitement. Jolly good acting and gripping all the way through.

Thoroughly recommend it." Eddy d.2

"What an amazing play. Highly recommend it. Not just a good sub story but a good story, a good Dom story, and very intelligently written. It treats people into various fetishes as good human beings - it's just their families and careers that screw them up. Anyone thinking of going it ends Sunday. I was really impressed by the script and the brave actors. Don't know if any of them are into this but they acted like they were... !" denise

"A Good Sub Story is on at the Unicorn Theatre in Kentish Town. I went to see it last night - and it was brilliant Scene related, but not just titillation: a real story with some twists and turns and excellent acting and direction. I thoroughly recommend it. It's on until the 9th. If you can get to it, do." frankDale

Thanks for keeping us abreast of this PeckhamRose - I'm really pleased it's gone so well for you (esp after the drama we witnessed at the FHT)

The location isn't a problem for me but getting the time to go to a play at any point over the last coupl eof weeks (and the next for that matter) is the hard part
