Whatever Guise Productions, producer of Gin For Breakfast at the Tristan Bates Theatre, has announced its line-up of after-show talks, including contributions from Stephen Fry, Frank Turner, Mat Horne, Hugo Rifkind and Oliver Kamm.
The talks will centre around mental health and are presented with support from CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably), which works to prevent male suicide by providing frontline services for men, promoting culture change and campaigning for better understanding of suicide and prevention. The play’s director, Ryan Gage, and writer, Jess Moore, will also be featured.
The talks will be held after selected performances of Gin For Breakfast, Jess Moore’s debut play, which will open at the Tristan Bates Theatre on Thursday 28th September for a strictly limited four-week run.
Frank Turner will attend on the 11th October and Stephen Fry on the 18th October. Dates for the other speakers will be announced soon.
The play follows childhood friends, Jen and Robbie, who are all grown-up now and galaxies away from where they imagined they would be. With their world-views set on a collision course, and their dreams imploding, Gin for Breakfast explores whether or not they can save themselves, and each other. And, when everything’s just star-stuff, does it matter?
The play opens on Thursday 28th September and runs until Saturday 21st October, with previews on the evenings of Tuesday 26th and Wednesday 27th, and a matinee performance on 28th September. Tickets are on sale here.
