ACT NOW! Drama Co Presents THE ADVENTURES OF ROYSON COCKFOSTERS, 7/6-18

ACT NOW! Drama Company Presents THE ADVENTURES OF ROYSTON COCKFOSTERS July 6-18 at the Greenwich Playhouse. Written & directed by David Hunt, THE ADVENTURES OF ROYSTON COCKFOSTERS is a comedy that follows the incompetent adventurer and explorer, Royston Cockfosters.

Royston and his companions, Wilberforce and Corrine (Coz) Worthy set off on a perilous trek into deepest darkest Africa in search of the mystical Jewel de Magica! – A stone that enables its owner to perform ‘real’ magic. They are chasing a misguided magician, The Great Gerardo (alias Gerard Blooth) and his beautiful assistant, Dastardina Dangle, a mistress of disguise! Blooth is desperate to gain the stones power. So, it’s a battle against time as Royston and his brave team confront the devilish Queen Po of the Oom Poo Poo tribe – (alias criminally insane underwear manufacturer Pauline Murcheson) who cruelly abuses her gentle daughter, Karina, in her attempts to achieve the greatest prize of all…
