RED BULLET PRODUCTIONS UK have been invited to perform their new romantic-comedy stage play at the world famous Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2014.
‘Butterfly in Shades of Blue’ was conceived and written by Ed Penney and directed by Allan Wilcox, who both live in North Wales and stars Ceri Bostock and Iago McGuire
Ceri, who lives near Caernarfon, amongst many and varied acting roles, has also presented Dwylo’r Enfys on S4C which recently won a Wales BAFTA.
Iago, who lives in Menai Bridge, is also an experienced film and stage actor. He has recently starred in the short film ‘Jam Man’ which won Best Fiction Film at the Cardiff Mini-Film Festival.
Ed Penney is a retired dentist who has laid down his probe and picked up his pen and is now a full time writer!
Allan Wilcox is a retired English teacher and has directed extensively in the UK and the Netherlands.
The play was first performed in North Wales in the autumn of 2013 to very appreciative audiences. It stars just two actors……Ceri Bostock and Iago McGuire.
‘Butterfly in Shades of Blue’ runs for 90 minutes, has no set, merely a table and four chairs on stage, just two actors and tells the old, old story of boy meets girl.
Therefore it’s got to be boring….right? In fact, you couldn’t be more wrong!
The brilliant Ceri Bostock and Iago McGuire take on the roles of Vicky and Stephen with often hilarious and at times very poignant results.
The snappy dialogue sparkles like a freshly-cut diamond. No rhinestone here!
The play spans a period of seventeen years in the lives of these two likeable but complex characters. This is what keeps us, the audience, hooked. We warm to these people and we want to know how their relationship is going to pan out.
We see in them our own failings, hopes and dreams. In fact we can all relate to some or all of the scenarios in which Vicky and Stephen find themselves. We want their relationship to succeed because we want them to be happy…..because we ourselves want to be happy in our own lives.
On the surface this is a very simple romantic comedy, but dig a little deeper and the various complex layers of two very different psyches are ruthlessly exposed.
Whether viewed as a superficial romantic comedy or as a much deeper reflection on modern relationships, this play hooks its audience from the very start and refuses to let go.
