A talented North East pair are wowing audiences with their first play after setting up their own theatre production company last year.
North East creatives Lucy Curry and her partner Carl Wylie launched Peachplant Productions to tell original stories with a local heart. Their debut show, Whale of a Time, is now showing at Newcastle’s Alphabetti theatre and has already earned stellar four and five-star reviews from critics.
The unusual play is set inside the belly of a whale, where twenty-something Robbie washes in and meets Albert, a man in his fifties who has been living inside the whale for 25 years. Robbie brings Albert up to speed on what he’s missed in the outside world, from Google to vegan sausage rolls, in a hilarious and heartfelt tale of friendship.
