APARTNESS at Swan Theatre

Part Live Stand-up/Part Film featuring Sylvester McCoy and Linda Marlowe, and introducing Eleanor May Blackburn, this is a new hybrid, part moving-image and part vaudevillian-style comedy, an irresistible cocktail of entertainment. Apartness tells the tale of two isolated souls and their devilish comedian saviour. By day, Patricia is their provider, by night, she performs in an illegal comedy club, and you are her audience. Funny, poignant, full of shocks and surprises, it is a near-true story of unexpected outcomes, based on and inspired by the actions of a comedian who believed art was more important than life. Whatever the truth may be, this is a real-life possibility.
