Making It
After forty years as a singer, actress and cabaret diva, Bev has seen it all and had nothing. She is backstage at the Kirkby Boilermakers and Shipbuilders social club which is the kind of place that you only play twice, once on the way up and once on the way down. This is her return gig.
As she prepares to get her slap on and step into a wobbly spotlight, she is waiting for a phone call. If all goes well then tonight will be her final ever gig and you are all invited to join her backstage.
Bev tells us the story of her showbiz life. From her brush with The Taffia (Llandudno branch of the mafia), to almost starring in the movies, sort of singing with a chart-topping mega-star and kind of breaking the European film market. Along the way she is joined by lecherous managers, dodgy photographers, and a whole realm of people who promise that they can help to make her a star. But she'll show them all. Tonight, she'll show them.
Making It! began as a homegrown one woman show in 2018 called Our Bev's Christmas Cracker, winning a Liverpool Echo Theatre Award, and played to sell-out crowds. This time, writing duo Stephen Fletcher and Cath Rice have developed the show for the Royal Court main stage and are proud to present this exciting comedy two-hander, also starring the brilliant Andrew Schofield.?
