IMPROMANIA
Impromania is an improvised comedy show in support of Comic Relief, made up on the spot, based on audience suggestions.
Impromania
It stars Natalie Wilcox from the recent Watford Palace production of sex-strike comedy LYSISTRATA. Also appearing in the show are Oliver Hume, Mark Hayden and Rosalind Blessed (with a possible surprise guest appearance).
Make suggestions of scenes you would like the IMROMANIACS to play. Watch them create a story on the spur of the moment... or ‘die’ in front of you in your choice of film, TV or theatre style. Ask them to re-enact the day you met your partner, or give them a suggestion of where two people may meet and they will enact your idea, quickly changing the style of their performance at your behest, mid-scene; they will play what you shout out - Shakespeare, Brecht, panto, West End musical, horror, thriller, rom-com and more!
Venue: Watford Palace Theatre
Date: Saturday 14 March 2009 at 9.15 pm (one hour show)
