Betty Blue Eyes

Book by Daniel Lipman and Ron Cowen, Lyrics by MMD Associate and Board member Anthony Drewe, Music by MMD Associate and Board member George Stiles.
Novello Theatre, Aldwych, London, United Kingdom, WC2B 4LD, UK.

From 19th March 2011

It's 1947 - austerity Britain, belts are being tightened, fair shares for all, the coldest winter in decades and a Royal wedding. Sound familiar? Adapted from Alan Bennett and Malcolm Mowbray's hilarious comic film 'A Private Function'; a tale that centres around Betty, an adorable pig who is being illegally reared to ensure that the local dignitaries can celebrate the forthcoming Royal Wedding with a lavish banquet while everyone else makes do with Spam. This utterly British musical, full of eccentric characters, has a deliciously witty score by Stiles and Drewe and a marvellous cast of great British actors, headed by Sarah Lancashire as Joyce, Reece Shearsmith as Gilbert and, of course, Betty as Herself.

Molly Wobbly's Tit Factory

Book, Lyrics & Music by MMD Associate Paul Boyd.
Lyric Theatre, Belfast 55 Ridgeway Street, Belfast BT9 5FB Northern Ireland

Live and in concert – the titillating musical tale of three very ordinary couples who live on Mammary Lane. When a mysterious stranger appears in the town of Little Hallening the local men suddenly find themselves plotting to get rid of their wives, whilst the women of the town are left with no option but to get one or two things off their chests. This hilariously graphic takes a satirical swipe at a society that considers beauty to be only skin-deep, and is premiering in a unique staged concert production performed by a full cast.

5th October 2011 until 15th October 2011
