Folio Theatre announces the full cast and creative team for the world première of Nanny co-written by Alana Ramsey, Lizzie Stables and Jenny Rainsford with songs by Matthew Floyd Jones.
The production runs at Bristol Old Vic from 31 January – 10 February, with a press night on 7 February, and Theatre Royal Plymouth on 27 and 28 February.
Jenny Rainsford directs her fellow co-writers Alana Ramsey and Lizzie Stables in this new comedy play with songs. With design by Cecilia Carey, lighting design by Johanne Jensen and sound design by Asaf Zohar.
Co-writer and director Jenny Rainsford said today, “You wouldn’t want to pay Leanne and Amy 18 pounds an hour to look after your kids but I know our audiences will happily watch them mess up their lives for eternity”
She said to me this morning “everything you do fails’’ because I spent twenty minutes trying to work out how to fit her car seat.
She just sat there just going “fail, fail, fail, fail, fail” while I was scrabbling away on YouTube looking up how you fit the Maxi Cosi Pearl 360. “Everything you do fails.” EVERYTHING? Who says that to someone? Who turns up to work and gets told that?!
Yeah, that’s brutal. And she’s backed it up with evidence.
Meet Lea and Amy. Below average nannies with bigger than average ambitions.
Every week they take the kids they look after to a ‘Stay and Play’ class where they seize moments to plot the twists and turns of their real careers as a comedy double act.
