Richard Herring - What is Love, anyway

Monday 6th February at 8pm

Does anybody love anybody anyway? So asked insane Welsh poet, philosopher Howard Jones in 1983. Finally someone dares to answer. Having sorted out religion (Christ on a bike), politics (Hitler Moustache) and penises (Talking Cock), the star of the award winning podcast "As it Occurs to Me" and Radio 4's "Richard Herring's Objective" seeks to define and destroy love before love destroys him. Again.

Does Richard's dry-cleaner genuinely love him? How could a romantic gesture involving Ferrero Rochers get dangerously out of control?

Herring's twentieth Fringe ......"Stimulating and exhilarating....... Utterly Hilarious" Chortle

Lancaster Footlights present "Spring and Port Wine"

by Bill Naughton

Tuesday 21st February to Friday 24th February at 7.30 pm, Saturday 25th matinee 2.30 pm

 From the author of "Alfie"- a tale of northern life in the 50's.

The Comptons are a typical working class family from Bolton. A stern father and a lenient mother try to deal with the ups and downs of family life as their four children grow up and the father attempts to assert his authority in the house, determined that the children will not get 'one up' on him.

Every day the family sits at the table once the father is home and the older children are back from work, but all is about to change as the children rebel!

 It takes a lifetime to raise a family and a weekend to lose it!

 

Tickets: Tuesday and Saturday all seats £7. Wednesday to Friday - £9/£8 conc.
