As we’re getting ready for our festival of plays on Saturday 21st September 2024 at Derby Theatre, here’s a little bit about the two plays you can see at 2.30pm:
BROKEN RECORD by Andrew Kells
Broken Record is about British eccentricity, sibling jealousy and finding a way to honour the past without repeating it. There may or may not be a record broken on stage.
About Andrew:
Andrew’s first memory of writing was a poem about the life cycle of bees in junior school, and that it didn’t end well for the bees. Since then, he’s written short stories, training manuals, national radio advertising campaigns, stage and film scripts, and two novels, but leaves poetry to the professionals.

In this satirical sketch the candidate who comes forward is outrageously unsuitable … but she is the only one and she brings a large contribution to party funds, so what should they do?”
