PORNO CHIC To Return To The Kings Arms

By:

One of Manchester's most successful fringe theatre companies have announced that they will be bringing back the smash hit show Porno Chic to The Kings Arms, Salford for a limited engagement during the 2016 Greater Manchester Fringe Festival. Produced by the award winning and MTA nominated Vertigo Theatre Productions (Ascension, Last Dance, Watching Goldfish Suffocate, M, Rage, Exam and the recent hit Murder She Writes to name but a few), the show will return with its original cast and under the direction of the original writers/directors Craig Hepworth (MTA nominated) and Adele Stanhope. Porno Chic will also head out on a UK tour at the end of 2016 in to 2017

Porno Chic tells the story of adult film actor Harry Reems (played by Richard Allen who received rave reviews) who shot to fame thanks to his role in the ground breaking 70's porn film Deep Throat. Through Harry's eyes we are taken through the filming, release and the political fallout caused by the movie's release. Harry navigates his way through the highs as his fame grew alongside his co-star Linda Lovelace (Celine Constantinides) to his rock-bottom lows facing charges and possible jail time thanks to a government hell bent on bringing him and the movie down. Fast paced, dramatic, funny, satirical, controversial and very adult, Porno Chic takes you behind the curtain of Harry Reems and Linda Lovelace's lives and one of the most profitable movies of all time.

Alongside Richard Allen and Celine Constantinides the play also stars Stuart Reeve (Last Dance, Ascension), Ash Preston(The Séance), Andrew Marsden (Exam) and Paul Worrall (Last Dance, Ascension) Emma Morgan (Murder She Writes) and Kerry Ely

Don't miss the show that critics called Unmissable - 5 stars (What's on Stage), Outstanding (Now/Then Magazine), Extraordinary (British Theatre Guide) Excellent (The Good Review) and Dynamic (VIVA Magazine).
