Fiona Evans' SCARBOROUGH Set for Two Shows at The Cockpit This Weekend

Fictive Theatre with Artistic Producciones and The Mexican Theatre Company La Compañia Perpetua present SCARBOROUGH by Fiona Evans, playing this weekend, 5th & 6th December 2015 at 3 pm at The Cockpit. Tickets: £12/£10.

SCARBOROUGH follows a 15 year-old boy on a romantic weekend away with his (nearly) 30 year-old female teacher at a bed and breakfast in Scarborough. After the interval, the script is repeated word-for-word except for one difference: the genders have swapped.

Across social media and tabloid newspapers it seems every week a new student - teacher affair is uncovered. By staying away from sensationalism, SCARBOROUGH becomes an engaging play presenting the affair from a neutral point of view.

Fiona Evans' portrayal of a dangerously charged romance and its implications was the show to see at the 2007 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, winning a Fringe First Award. It later ran at The Courtyard Theatre.

This intimate performance directed by Simon Paris is set on a bed, in the round.

Artistic Producciones LTD and La Compañia Perpetua, who are about to present the UK premiere of FAUSTAFF at the Cockpit from 18th November, are supporting this emerging theatre company with the aim of promote young talent.

Founded in 2014 by Ava Pickett and Simon Parism, Fictive Theatre is a company that creates and embraces brave and bold new theatre.

Directed by Simon Paris, SCARBOROUGH has set and costume design by Magdalena Iwanska, lighting design by Guido Lueches and poster design by Amy Laker.

In the cast are: Lauren / Beth: Ava Pickett; and Daz / Aiden: Charlie Tantam.
