Substance & Shadow Theatre present: "The Brexit Club"

A tale of intolerance, alienation and Findus crispy pancakes!!!

 It's the 23rd June 2016 - the day of the Euro Referendum and just another lunch time in the works canteen for cousins Len Silver and Melvyn Gould and their colleagues, but beneath their love of haute cuisine and jovial banter there's trouble brewing.

"What we have here is a failure to communicate."

Sid Vishnu's lentil Dahl and Don Beattie's bangers and mash are emblems of a nation divided! A family is torn apart by politics, but in the cold light of the referendum hangover, whether leave or remain - will lunchtimes ever be the same again?

Is Brexit really the best thing since sliced bread, will cousins Len and Melvyn manage to bridge the great divide, or will they be left crying over spilt milk?

Substance and Shadow Theatre present a black comedy that will have you chewing over the remains of Brexit and deciding on a full English or continental!

The Review Hub: "The chemistry between the pair (Nathan Simpson and Midge Mullin) make for the perfect comedy duo and their outstanding characterisation must be applauded."

Phonic FM: "Midge and Rosie Mullin, and all the team members, work tirelessly in every spare hour, to ensure a steady stream of impressive plays. Classic writing, like Pinter's "Dumb Waiter" and Brenton's "Christie in Love", have benefited from the Substance and Shadow treatment, while their own home-spun yarns, such as "Skin Deep" and "Duplicity", can be relied on to take an audience on a unique voyage into the unexpected."

Exepose Magazine: "Substance & Shadow's experimental approach to storytelling really pays off, the end result being a gripping evening which is both entertaining and thought provoking. I believe that Substance and Shadow Theatre make a valuable contribution to the arts scene in the city."
