The Lost Letters of Cathy G
‘Genuinely touching and amusing, a real charming hour ****’ Time Out
‘Innocently Sweet and very funny****’ ThreeWeeks
Whilst in a junk shop, looking for photographs of families he’d never met, Paul stumbled across a wad of forgotten letters. Dating from 1963-69, they span across America, France and Edgware and give a fantastic insight into how 60s teenagers got their kicks, from miserable French exchange visits to screaming at a Monkees concert. Having managed to find some of these hopeful groupies and first loves, with a mixture of stand-up and storytelling, Paul shares his quest to find out what happened after the letters stopped.
”I saw it at the Fringe. A jolly tale with a melancholic tinge. And some sharp shirting” – John Hegley.
Prices - £60 for 1 show or £100 for both.
Travel is included in London and its surrounding counties, I.E Kent, Essex. Outside of these, there will an additional cost to cover this.
