Join us in the studio as we unpack Cleopatra’s story, exploring alternatives to the fetishised popular truth.

A wannabe star unexpectedly becomes a father – and learns it’s hard to make it big walking on Lego.

This one-man musical comedy is played entirely live by virtuoso rocktopus Andy Gallo. From No. 1 songwriter Jessica Sharman and Richard Marsh, Fringe First winner (Dirty Great Love Story) and BBC Audio Drama Award Best Comedy winner (Radio 4’s Love & Sweets). Lucy Jane Atkinson directs this uplifting heartbreak banger: you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll rock.

Reviews:

A dark and bloody comedy inspired by the past thefts of ‘The Scream’ and the ‘Mona Lisa’. How far would you go for money? And is art nothing more than a price tag?

The theft of art is an art in itself, and siblings Molly and Lee think they’re masters of the craft. They’ve done the hard bit and ‘The Scream’ is hanging on their safe-house wall. It’s worth over £74 million… if only they could sell it! Expert art thieves already, this is their biggest job to date. But things start to go wrong before they’ve even begun…

Written by James Hamilton

Starring Alfrun Gisladottir, Anna Crichlow, Jamie Finn, and Baker Musaka
