A Bad Case of the Mondays

7 Short Plays on Monday Evenings…

In The Morris Space at Park Theatre

6,13,20,27 January at 7.45pm

For Monday. For Mankind. For the Future!

2014 sees Paradigm Theatre Company take over the Morris Space at the Park Theatre to present A Bad Case of the Mondays, opening the venue for the first time on Mondays throughout January.

Seven playwrights have penned seven incredibly different and exciting plays using the theme of ‘a bad case of the Mondays’ as their prompt.

From British Gangsters to underpaid actors to office types who probably aren’t eating what they should be… The seven bite-sized short plays will be staged across each evening – A Bad Case of the Mondays may just turn Monday into the new Friday.

 

The seven featured writers are Paradigm’s Artistic Director, Sarah Pitard, with Michael Ross, B. Spencer Evoy, Caro Dixey, Giles Morris, Katherine Rodden and Serena Haywood.

Sophie Kinsella’s Sleeping Arrangements adapted for the stage

 Sleeping Arrangements, a new musical based on the novel by Sophie Kinsella, author of Confessions Of A Shopaholic now has a full cast.

The exceptionally high calibre cast includes Fascinating Aïda’s Liza Pulman and West End favourite Jenny Gayner who has trodden the boards as Roxie Hart in Chicago amongst other high profile roles and Sabrina Aloueche who is best known for playing the character ‘Scaramouche‘ in We Will Rock You.

The Confessions Of A Shopaholic novel was adapted into a film released in 2009, starring Isla Fisher and Hugh Dancy but this will be the first of Sophie’s popular books to be adapted for the stage.

“I am so excited to see my story on stage in such a hilarious and tuneful musical”
               Sophie Kinsella

This exciting new musical will play at the Landor Theatre in Clapham London for four weeks starting in April 2013 (17th April – 12th May)

Based on the best-selling novel of the same name, the musical tells the tale of Chloe who desperately needs a holiday. She’s sick of making wedding dresses and her partner, Philip has troubles at work. Her wealthy friend Gerard has offered the loan of his luxury villa in Spain – Perfect

Hugh is not a happy man. His immaculate wife Amanda seems more interested in her new kitchen than him and he works so hard to pay for it, he barely has time for his children. Maybe he’ll have a chance to bond with them on holiday. His friend Gerard has lent him a luxury villa in Spain – Perfect.

Both families arrive at the villa and realise the awful truth – Gerard has double-booked. What no-one else realises is that Chloe and Hugh have a history, and as tensions rise, old passions resurface. It seems that Gerard’s ‘accidental’ double booking may not be an accident after all…
