Rodney has been a Principal Dresser in the West End for 40 years, seen it all, been there and probably had to make his own T-Shirt. He's got more than a few stories to tell. Backstage in the dark attending to Sirs, Dames & the darlings of stage and screen, the spotlight falls on him for a change and he lets rip! Hold on to your corsets, Rodney's going to spit feathers and sing like a canary!

A searing portrayal of the battles fought by the Scottish freedom fighter William Wallace, as seen through the eyes of a common soldier, this stunning monologue shows the brutality of war and the heavy costs paid by the ordinary men and their families who choose to follow their leaders into combat.
“The Tanner” is a work of art, truly. I urge you to see this master class of story and stage acting. Bloody bravo indeed! - Samantha Simmonds-Ronceros for nohoartsdistrict.com

Lucy comes to Wolverhampton with a brand new show about the power of letting yourself go – in every sense. Whether that means embracing your wrinkles and love handles whilst living in a slanket, or having a couple of babychams and dancing like nobody’s watching (and if you’re a middle-aged woman, they’re probably not), it’s also about letting go of the person you’ve always thought you are, and using your midlife crisis to pursue new goals and reinvent yourself.
Deepen your laughter lines with this hilarious show.
