Audiences will have to decide who wrote a controversial book, wannabe celebrity Felix Wright or his wife Jill, in a new drama at Buxton Fringe, Write Yourself Free: Female Fact or Male Fiction?.
The play, written by Alan Charnley, features Nicki Preston and Joanna Lavelle as well as Charnley himself. It tackles issues including historical abuse, friendship between women and why women sometimes keep dark secrets too long inside and out of marriage.
Felix claims he wrote the novel in bizarre circumstances to film a reality TV show and the work is pure fiction. However, if Jill wrote the book with the help of her new friend, film-maker Belinda Gold, her husband is in big trouble as she reveals some home truths.
Write Yourself Free: Female fact or Male Fiction? is not only a theatre play, it is also available as a book or download on Amazon and can be read before or after the show.
The production runs at the Old Clubhouse, Water Street, Buxton on Friday 10 July and Wednesday 22 July at 7:30PM.
