ARE THERE MORE OF YOU?Four tales of the unexpected, four women living extraordinary lives in ordinary places. About the PlayJoyce Grenfell meets Sarah Bernhardt as Alison Skilbeck plays four utterly different women on the verge of a nervous breakthrough, linked only by a postcode, whose lives rub shoulders.CLAIRE, bright, abandoned Ambassador’s wife, with blood on her hands; Italian SOPHIA, serving egg ‘n’ chips by day and osso bucco and Verdi by night, while upstairs Mamma seems set to last for ever; SARA, the local Spirit Weaver, all sweetness and light, unless you tangle with her; and SAM, bluff northern business woman, who’s always got on with men, but seems to be going home alone. By turns hilarious and heart-breaking, ARE THERE MORE OF YOU? shows ‘women of a certain age’ plumbing the depths, and yearning for the stars.

Reviews“Brilliantly observed, richly comic characters, all played to painful perfection. A wonderful evening” Alan Ayckbourn “A lovely piece of work: four diverse, original characters, telling their highly original stories. Funny, painful, and surreal - very like life” Alan Plater ‘Four studies of losers, who turn into winners. Skilful, hilarious and truthful – the most thrilling one-woman show I’ve seen since Ruth Draper.’ Irving Wardle NEXT STEPSFor more information, and to discuss any details on Corporate Entertainment and Theatrical Productions, please contact Jenny Smith on 020 7908 4819, email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
