Russell Kane

Tuesday, 9 March 2010 - Saturday, 13 March 2010

Soho Theatre, 21 Dean Street, Soho, W1D 3NE

Comedy: , Stand Up

How Much: £12.00 (Entry) , Sold Out :(

King Nigel is an Essex banker who has lost everything. No options are left, and thus he must himself do in. But can his secret lover and PA, Donna of Billericay, save him from himself? Or will she also be pulled into his bubbling pit of excremental mental evil and that?

After a sell-out Edinburgh Fringe run last August, Russell Kane brings his blank verse play to the Soho Theatre. Shakespeare is often reinvented in modern form nowadays and here, Russell turns this tedious notion on its head, re-working silly modern woes into Fakespearian verse.
