Savvy Theatre's COKE FLOATS & CHEMO to Play Brighton Fringe 2013, May 18

Coke Floats & Chemo is coming onstage at the Brighton Fringe. Cancer isn't funny, but Coke Floats & Chemo will have you laughing out loud. In her internationally popular blog on which this Stage-play is based, Yvonne describes the absurdity of it all with warmth, charm, wisdom and hilarity. On Stage Yvonne plays herself, ably helped along by a spookily lookalike and very naughty puppet, who does everything Yvonne would love to do but would never get away with.

Yvonne was diagnosed with bi-lateral breast cancer in May 2012. Stumbling through the scary days of radical surgery, chemo, radiotherapy and loads more, Yvonne kept her sanity by writing the blog. No matter how depressed or miserable she was whenever she started writing each post, the funny side of it all just crept out onto the page all by itself, and brightened everyone's day, including her own. Funny, uplifting and engaging, Coke Floats & Chemo is suitable for the whole family. Lighthearted and quirky, it looks at the silver linings Yvonne has found whilst under the cloud that is cancer.

Yvonne is also a mother to 3 gorgeous children, including one who is profoundly disabled. She also writes, runs Laughter Yoga sessions, and is a tireless campaigner for disabled children. She also hates needles and loves chocolate.

Savvy Theatre Company, based on the Surrey/South London borders, is the brainchild of Sheree Vickers. It is an award-winning community-based drama company, running several projects working with schools, children, young people and adults, where everyone is welcome regardless of their ability or disability, advantage or disadvantage.

Coke Floats & Chemo, the stage play, has been co-written by Yvonne and Sheree, and has a cast of 9, between the ages of 20 and 87. Incidentally, the youngest cast member is also Yvonne's daughter, Francesca.

We are very proud to be supporting The Royal Marsden Hospital, and their work in research and development of new cancer treatments and therapies.
