THE QUEEN OF KING’S CROSS by Nick Thomas

21 – 25 June 2005 at

The Old Fire Station Studio Theatre, George St., Oxford.

7.30pm with Saturday Matinee 2.30pm.

An Instinctive Theatre production, sponsored

by Laurent-Perrier Champagne.

 

Scene: The Queen of King's Cross, a bar in contemporary London.

 

Eddy Rowley, sole proprietor of 'The Queen' ever since the death of his partner, the alcoholic artist Max, has his back to the wall.  Dysfunctional relationships with lovers and the predatory intentions of a successful entrepreneur whom he is forced to accept as an investor combine to worsen an already dangerous drink problem.  But as though that's not enough, he finds himself obliged to confront the conflicting emotions that govern his relationship with his sister Poppy, a famous actress and Max's widow.

 

Critically acclaimed Oxford playwright Nick Thomas returns to the Old Fire Station Studio Theatre with his new play, a taut contemporary drama of desire and self-destruction, laced with the dark humour at which he excels.

 

Written and Directed by Nick Thomas.

Original music by Nick Kenworthy-Browne.

Portraits by James Cahill.
