Style:
Comedy play with (suggested) songs. In length it's on the boundary between a one-act play and a full-length play (it could occupy a full evening or be paired with a shorter piece). Structurally in two acts.
Synopsis:
A musical play with energy, fizz, music and dance. In a world dominated by television talent competitions two families with great ambition battle it out for the ultimate prize of celebrity. The Lemons and the Greens continue a long-running feud with each other on to a TV talent show. With an astute use of Shakespearian themes and quotations ('the perfect antidote to all this madness') along with imaginative settings and flashbacks we are taken on a modern journey with a wry and satirical comment on reality television and the culture of celebrity.
