Chris Neville-Smith returns to Buxton Fringe for the third year in a row to perform a new play written and directed by Alan Godfrey.
A Nasty Little Play is a dark comedy set in a seedy 1950s Soho bookshop where three punters and two dancers from the theatre next door are stuck together during a police raid. The play is set in a world of outwardly moral decency, when nudes were permitted on stage only if they were not moving.
Author Alan Godfrey was in Chris Neville-Smith's first play at Buxton two years ago and suggested long ago that Pauper's Pit would be the ideal venue for this comedy. A Nasty Little Play is one of three dark comedies he has written recently.
Chris Neville-Smith's previous appearances at Buxton include The First Sign of Madness as a writer/director in 2013 and Waiting for Gandalf, written by Adrian Marks, in 2014, which was nominated for best new writing. This time he is actor and producer. The cast of six are all members of Durham Dramatic Society.
A Nasty Little Play is showing at Underground Venues on Sunday 19 July at 10:15PM, Monday 20 July at 8:30PM and Tuesday 21 and Wednesday 22 July at 5:45PM.
