Bec Applebee has a long and very varied acting career; she has also produced and toured her own shows, "Oh Mary" and "The Ugly Sisters", to wide critical acclaim. Her new production, "Darke Women", is a celebration of the incredible and feisty female characters from Nick Darke's plays, "The Riot", "King of Prussia" and many more.
Nick was one of Cornwall's most prestigious and internationally acclaimed playwrights. Bec worked widely with Nick and with the help of Anna Maria Murphy's (Kneehigh) magical wordsmithing alongside Mary Woodvine ("Poldark", "Trevithick"), Sharon Andrews (Scary Little Girls) and her own extraordinary performance skills, she will bring some of Nick's most memorable characters together on stage for the first time.
This will be a robust encounter of strong willed, strong minded women crossing the centuries. From dynamite makers and smugglers to wet-suit and brandy experts. Who knows how they will get on or what they will they get up to. A family-friendly show recommended for those 7yrs and up. This will be a professional evening of physical performance, entertainment, song and humour. A sensitive and true celebration of Nick Darke's work.
It'll be a RIOT.
