Rupert Street Lonely Hearts Club

By Jonathan Harvey

Monday 11th - Wednesday 13th September 2000

Hexagon Theatre, mac, Cannon Hill Park, Birmingham

At 15 Rupert Street, Dean is in love with Marti who is in love with Shaun who is in love with Juliet who is in Barbados. Meanwhile, George is in love with Malcolm who has left and Clarine just loves Jesus and Zoe Wanamaker. Welcome to Rupert Street Lonely Hearts Club!

The well-crafted script develops the theme of relationships, but just exactly where does brotherly love stop and unrequited, unmentionable love begin...?

A genuinely funny, yet dark, story of five lonely hearts!

“I want the class and campery of a Bette Davies movie and I feel like I’m stuck in an episode of Eastenders. Misery, misery, always misery.” (Marti)

Director: Tom Mansfield

Producer: Peter Monks

Cast: Jill Coles, Kirsty Jobling, Simon Knapp, Liam Stratton, Benjamin Trumper
