Adrian Bower and James Lance reunite this May for the premiere of Ordinary Dreams by Marcus Markou. The show will run 5/14-6/6 2009 with previews on May 12 at Trafalgar Studios 2.
According to notes on Official London Theater Guide "Ordinary Dreams is a dark comedy for our times - a story of middle class anxiety, electric wheelchairs and salvation.
The story centres on Penny and Miles, who are awaiting the imminent birth of their first child from completely different perspectives. Whilst recovering alcoholic Penny is the epitome of calm anticipation and deep breathing, her partner Miles is gradually retreating into a quagmire of fear and neurosis about the baby's future. Armed only with a candlestick and a bold imagination, he spends his days saving the world by creating a utopian fantasy for his son and everyone else to live in. As Miles starts to surround himself with a bizarre armoury of cast-offs from eBay, Penny's ex-alcoholic, ex-boyfriend Dan and his new-age, karma-embracing girlfriend Layla are also on hand to offer their own unique blend of advice.
Ordinary Dreams is a cautionary tale of how easy it is to lose oneself in a world in flux and how easy it can be to find redemption."
Kat Portman and James Seabright are set to produce Ordinary Dreams.
