Why is John Lennon Wearing a Skirt? - Claire Dowie

15th-17th July

The Crescent Theatre

"What an inspired idea to transform Claire Dowie's riotous monologue of feminine angst into a comic play with a cast of one hundred. It's hard to imagine it would be possible until you see how confident and daring the brilliant Stage2 can be. This radical material is a courageous choice for a youth theatre and it pays off brilliantly - both holding and challenging the audience in the way the best theatre should. There are some great ensemble scenes - the sixty-strong chorus are all terrific, each giving just enough but never too much. The show works like clockwork and no-one puts a foot wrong." Birmingham Post. Stage2 were extremely pleased to be performing another piece by their Patron - who also took part in the production by supplying the voice over 'presenting the future.'
