8 pm  Isosceles Theatre presents The Bonzo Dog
Doo Dah Band Changed My Life Forever
!  Andre
Barreau of The Bootleg Beatles wrote of this play,
“The highs and the lows in the strange Xeroxed world
of the tribute act are as extreme as any branch of
entertainment and in this gem of a play we meet two
wonderfully realised characters in road-hardened
rocker Eric (Dave Marsden) and naive newcomer Bob
(Pat Abernethy), both auditioning for a low-budget
chance to get on the elusive first rung of the
Look-A-Like ladder. …. They may be going nowhere
but - in a hugely enjoyable play, laced with some
great 60s covers, loads of humour and painful candour
- it's a trip well worth taking...... I loved it.”
