One of our favourite ladies is back on the scene in a big way! Not only do we have the pleasure of seeing the FAB Leigh Arnold on the small screen each week in RTE's The Clinic, playing every one's FAV acupuncturist, but now we can see her under the hott lights of the stage here in the capital and beyond!
Back in the 90s (wow, back in 90s - can't believe I just wrote that!) a website was created that allowed people to share the real life stories of their first sexual experience anonymously. Naturally, the site created a huge amount of buzz and 70,000 stories soon poured in, all ranging from heartwarming to heartbreaking, adorable to slightly grotesque!
Eventually, writer Ken Davenport spun some of the more entertaining stories and unique personalities into a heartwarming and hysterical stage show.
Gaining the honour of the longest running off-Broadway show and being featured on countless news programs the show, aptly titled 'My First Time', has become a theatrical gem.
Lucky for us this gem has traveled to our shores, and features a bang up cast! Along with Leigh Arnold, Keith Duffy, Claire 'the Tulls' Tully and Alan Shortt, all climb into the roles of various real life people and share the funny and only slightly humiliating stories of their 'First Time'.
As 'your first time' is a milestone event that at some point almost all people - no matter colour or credence - share every person can attach themselves to this show and the characters it features.
Starting on October 14th at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin, the production will then tour around the country, showing in the Theatre Royal in Waterford and the Cork Opera House.
Under the direction of Michael Scott, who has previously brought us our Leigh in both Trojan Women and The Vagina Monologues, the show is bound to be a hit - between the hysterical content and the eclectic and totally hott talent it features how could it miss?
