ADELE SILVA TO STAR IN BEST-SELLING SPOOF OF FIFTY SHADES OF GREY!
 
 

Following sell-out shows in Glasgow, Belfast and Dublin earlier this year, the smash hit comedy, Fifty-One Shades of Maggie, is set to embark on its first UK tour, visiting Newcastle Theatre Royal on 10 – 14 September. Starring former Emmerdale star Adele Silva, the Fifty Shades of Grey send up is fixed to become one of the funniest shows to hit UK stages!

Fifty-One Shades of Maggie tells the story of the loveable Maggie Muff and her search for love. A working-class girl, Maggie – like most women – has been let down by all the men in her life. As she attends an interview at the Social Security Office, Maggie meets the handsome and hunky Mr. Big, who could just be the man of her dreams.

 “Hilarious… do yourself a favour, get a ticket… the joy is in the outrageous script…”

Irish News

“…made us laugh ‘til we cried… two hours flashed past amid great hilarity…”

Belfast Telegraph

Fifty-One Shades of Maggie was initially written by Leesa Harker as a Facebook-based spoof blog of the all-time best-selling book, Fifty Shades of Grey. The blog was so well received that it went viral, reaching tens of thousands of followers in a matter of days. Later adapted for stage, the play debuted to a sold-out audience in Belfast in January 2013.

The one woman show stars Adele Silva, best known for her long running role as Kelly Windsor in Emmerdale – a role she played on and off for 14 years. Adele is a well-known face on British television, appearing in Mr Majeika, The Bill and EastEnders, alongside a host of celebrity reality shows including series three of Celebrity Hell’s Kitchen in which she came second to boxer, Barry McGuigan.

 

“…a lot of fun… hilarious… left the audience pumped up and proud…”

Culture Northern Ireland

This hilarious new play, filled with naughty bits, will have ladies giggling for weeks as they join Maggie and her friends on this (ever-so-slightly-filthy) journey of love, booze and whips!

Fifty-One Shades of Maggie appears at Newcastle Theatre Royal from 10 - 14 September 2013 (Evenings: Tue – Thu 7.30pm, Friday 8.30pm and Saturday 8pm). Tickets are from £15.00 and can be purchased from the Theatre Royal Box Office on 08448 11 21 21 or select your own seat and book online at www.theatreroyal.co.uk

It's just a crack in the screen...... Not my usual kind of blog post. The smartphone has become part of everyday life. For a business like mine it had opened up new avenues to spread the word about my clients as a PR. I found some of these shut suddenly when my phone hurtled to the kitchen floor. Just a cracked screen. I worried the phone may cost a fortune to fix, but got similar quotes from about 3 people and so when one of them called back promising a 48 hr turnaraound, and 6 months warranty, I thought, I could trust the friendly voice of "John" at the other end of the line. The UPS driver arrived within 10 minutes and my phone was in a padded envelope off to Elite Phones And Computers in Manchester. This was a mistake. I hadn't checked the reviews online, something I always do, and warn other when I find the bad ones.  I sent the phone on Friday and on Monday checked on progress, using the on-site messaging service the company prefers to use instead of ema...

The Stagg Do 5 years in the making, written by an American (James DeMarco) , about Geordies, starring Geordies, with Geordie music and with a premiere screened on Westgate Road at the O2 Academy, this was truly a local affair. The story, about a camping trip involving a groom, his best man and his mates takes a turn for the uncomfortable when the father-in-law to be joins the group. Staggy, played by Andrew Stagg is being chaperoned by his fiancee's (Charlotte, played by Therase Neve) father, "The Judge". Daddy-in-law to be, is played by Bill Fellows, a familiar face on many TV series and films. This scuppers the plans of best-man Pob, and pals Si (Simon Buglass) and Radgy (Craig Conway), who really wanted the trip to evolve into a "beer and titties" extravaganza. Much silliness, drug references, the funny things that can happen, in the dark, in the Northumberland countryside add up to an enjoyable romp enhanced greatly by a fabulous soundtrack provided ent...

#livereview Gary Lucas at The Cluny

Live Review:  Gary Lucas at The Cluny, Newcastle Still buzzing from a standing ovation in Liverpool the night before, Gary opened the show with a cover: I Remember .The rich sound came from his “distressed” acoustic guitar which he claimed was older than him .  Gary filled in between songs with history and amazing anecdotes. He was an anglophile in New York.  He studied at Yale. He loved the Move. He reminisced about John peel breaking Beefheart in U.K.  He saw Beefheart in New York. Interviewed Don Van Vliet for student radio whilst majoring in English Literature. Beefheart was bigger in Europe and Australia rather than in the US, but he knew then he wanted to perform with them. The next song was on electric. Evening Bell was a finger-picking  master class. He’s kept the explosive, disjointed quality of the song as he was instructed to play it all those years ago.  He talked about working as record company advertising executive....
