Play On Words will be appearing at the Etcetera Theatre in Camden on the following dates:
‘Play On Words’ is a moving tale of friendship, a knock-about farce of quick-witted punning and a surreal blend of theatre and reality - all mixed into one truly unique theatrical battle between Stoppardian wit and Beckettin Calamity...
‘Play On Words’ follows Fred and Eddie on a linguistic journey through theatrical comedy. An ordinary day at the office is interrupted by voices from behind the walls and a theatre technician - who thinks he's seen the light. The confusion of our hapless duo soon becomes a race against time to save their close friend Jen, facing crossed wires, theatrical tricks and dried fruit.
