FRANCIS & POWER


FRANCIS AND POWER
IN DEEP DARK CUTS


Award winning actor/writers Alan Francis and Barnaby Power explore the darker side of human nature through a series of wickedly funny character creations. A drug addicted businessman, a cabaret singing tourettes sufferer and a pop impresario with a sordid past are just some of society's oddballs who combine to form an hour of black comedy and incisive observations.

ALAN FRANCIS is currently preparing for a UK tour of Anthony Neilson's production of The Wonderful World of Dissocia with the Scottish National Theatre. He has previously completed a successful run of his own play, Jeffrey Dahmer Is Unwell, at the Kings Head Theatre, London and was recently seen in the new BBC Sitcom Pulling. Alan is also an acclaimed writer for television and radio and has written for Alistair McGowan, Ronni Ancona and Alan Davies.

BARNABY POWER's stage credits include: Faust (Parts I & II), Laurel & Hardy, The Wonderful World of Dissocia and Edward Gant's Amazing feats of loneliness. Radio includes: Be prepared and Stamp Collecting with legs for Radio 4. He is currently co-writing The Laughter Gene for Radio 4.

Directed by Jack James 'Deep Dark Cuts' has already enjoyed a critically acclaimed run at this year's Edinburgh Festival.
