Press release:
Time Please is a new work by writer / performers John Knowles and Kate Tym. A darkly-comic play, set in a run-down pub in a never up-and-coming part of town. The over-riding grimness being offset by the misplaced optimism of barman Steve, and the epic sarcasm of his wife, Cath. Enter, Keith Goodman, shambolic and drunk and with a planet-size chip on his shoulder. Keith is chock-full of wild conspiracy theories and grudges and has a hatched a plan to get his story heard and so begins a lock-in like no other.
Kate Tym and John Knowles have written and performed together for around five years. Their work has been described as hilarious and deeply-disturbing by turns. Kate and John like to perform in unconventional spaces and do away with raised stages and proscenium arches - preferring to be in a setting where the intimacy of the audience is essential to the atmosphere of the piece.
