One of Manchester's most successful fringe theatre companies have announced that they will be bringing back the smash hit show Porno Chic after a sell out 2nd run at The Kings Arms, Salford as part of the Greater Manchester Fringe. Upcoming dates for the show will be announced soon for the end of the year in to 2017. Produced by the award winning and MTA nominated Vertigo Theatre Productions (Ascension, Last Dance, Watching Goldfish Suffocate, M, Rage, Exam to name but a few), the show will return under the direction of the original writers/directors Craig Hepworth (MTA nominated and award winning) and Adele Stanhope (award winning)
Porno Chic tells the story of adult film actor Harry Reems (played by Richard Allen who received rave reviews) who shot to fame thanks to his role in the ground breaking 70's porn film Deep Throat. Through Harry's eyes we are taken through the filming, release and the political fallout caused by the movie's release. Harry navigates his way through the high's as his fame grew alongside his co-star Linda Lovelace (Celine Constantinides) to his rock bottom lows facing charges and possible jail time thanks to a government hell bent on bringing him and the movie down. Fast paced, dramatic, funny, satirical, controversial and very adult, Porno Chic takes you behind the curtain of Harry Reems and Linda Lovelace's lives and one of the most profitable movies of all time.
Alongside Richard Allen and Celine Constantinides the play also stars Stuart Reeve (Last Dance, Ascension), Ash Preston(The Séance), Andrew Marsden (Exam) Paul Worrall (Last Dance, Ascension) Emma Morgan (Murder She Writes) and Kerry Ely
Don't miss the show that critics called Unmissable - 5 stars (what's on stage), Outstanding (Now/Then Magazine), Extraordinary (British Theatre Guide) Excellent (The Good Review) Dynamic (VIVA Magazine), Ambitious (MTA Awards) and Compelling (North West End)
