Where's Vietnam?
19 June 2008
to 21 June 2008
Courtyard Theatre
World Premiere
1968 and the sexual revolution is stuck in a traffic jam just
outside Leeds, but two brothers are about to see beyond the
city’s narrow perimeters.
A fan of the Kray twins, Banks proudly models himself on
Reggie Kray and pushes his gentle giant of a brother, Arthur,
into the subservient role of Ronnie. As they hitch their way down
the M1 they find a shifting cast of characters, offering everything
from fish paste sandwiches to balloon based sex.
Celebrating the 40th anniversary of this Leeds-based company
Where’s Vietnam?, written by Alice Nutter (Foxes), has a soundtrack
of sixties soul and dirty funk played live on stage. This is a black
comedy about love, loyalty and not letting disability stand in the
way of extreme violence.
