One of Us
by Ruth Bratt and Niall Ashdown
Two of the UK’s finest and most sought-after exponents of comedy improvisation in a brand new show!
The magnificent Ruth Bratt (Comedy Store Players, Showstopper!) and the munificent Niall Ashdown (Impropera, regular guest at The Comedy Store, and recently at Jack Studio with his acclaimed Five Pianos) join forces to create scenes, sketches, monologues and songs, all of it created entirely spontaneously.
It will be quiet, compelling and very very funny.
Press for Five Pianos at the Jack Studio
‘Told through a mix of songs, poems, and monologues, Five Pianos is a sharp, witty production by a man whose knowledge and appreciation for the arts consistently shines through… Ashdown feels like a real embodiment of creativity – someone who has no choice but to make art inspired by and in response to the world around them… Thoroughly intelligent and well-paced, Five Pianos is an inspiring piece of theatre, filled with all the joy and heartache of a life well lived.’ Southwark News
‘It was highly engrossing stuff… A thoughtful and candid piece of theatre.’ ★★★★ London Theatre1
‘You may recognise Ashdown from any of television, radio and stage, but the success of Five Pianos lies with the way the episodes from the life of an ordinary man are measured in music and words, and love. Always love.’ British Theatre Guide
