About Double Edge Drama
Peggy Day is a dark, off-beat comedy by Double Edge Drama, set in 1969 Soho. Albie, an anxious out-of-work actor, is caught between the suffocating affections of an older playwright and the chaotic influence of his roommate, Turner. When a chance encounter at the cinema leads him to Peggy Day, Albie seizes the opportunity to reinvent himself. But as one night spirals into a farcical web of lies, Turner begins to suspect Peggy may not be what she seems. The show explores desire, delusion and the dangers of being double-booked. Runs 50 minutes, suitable for ages 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A farcical dark comedy set in 1969 Soho, full of mistaken identities and mounting lies. If you enjoy off-beat character comedy with a period backdrop, Peggy Day is a nimble, enjoyable 50-minute romp.
