Albert Make Us Laugh

directed by Kevin Murray

Matinees Sunday 13 and Saturday 20 November at 2pm
No show Monday 14 November

Albert Nutall, aged seven - some would say he is backward, and, at first glance you'd agree - but Albert is special. He is a poet and a visionary
who, as he grows to manhood, inspires unexpected depths of emotion in other people, notably his classmate Primrose, whose glorious future as an actress fails to materialise, and the lost and lonely young schoolteacher, Janet Partington.

This strange, touching and uplifting story - written to be enacted entirely by adults - is engaging and theatrically innovative, as one has come to
expect from the ever popular Jimmie Chinn, author of Straight and Narrow.
