Twinkle

7. 30pm Saturday 17 February.
Phil Starr Pavilion, Victoria Gardens, Brighton.

Starring Jason Sutton. Written by Philip Meeks. Designed by Stephen Holroyd. Directed by Allan Cardew.

Jason Sutton (aka Miss Jason) stars in Philip Meeks's one man play: Twinkle.

Jason takes a dramatic departure from his fabulous guise as one of Brighton and London's leading lights on the cabaret circuit to play the tragi-comic figure of Harold Thropp. Harold, a veteran pantomime dame, reflects on his life in the blaze of the footlights, which has dimmed over the years as the world's recognition of star quality has turned on its head. Harold's woes at being given a dressing room in the basement spark a chain of incredible memories and events that will ensure Harold is never forgotten.

Twinkle promises to make audiences cry with laughter and shed some tears of sadness as Harold's hilarious anecdotes and bitchy one-liners unmask a dame in her descent with one last punchline to deliver.
