FROM HERE TO ETERNITY Writer Brayson Announces New Show JIMMY MAC!

Who is Jimmy Mac? Or should the question be, who does Jimmy Mac think he is?

Jimmy Mac is the new musical comedy by Stuart Brayson - who wrote From Here To Eternity with Sir Tim Rice = and this new show is to receive its world premiere at the Gaiety Theatre on October 10th as part of the exciting first Theatre Fest 15.

Jimmy would answer without a shadow of a doubt: "I am a ladies' man, a romantic, a sensitive soul, a poet even." The ladies in his life would, however, totally disagree - misogynist, egotist, in fact if the word has got an 'ist' in it then it probably fits Jimmy to a tee!

In this new very funny show about modern relationships we follow the life and journey, ups and downs of the lazy dreamer Jimmy Mac through four contrasting love affairs with four totally contrasting women. First up is Sharon, the lonely homebody and homemaker: all she wants is a man who will come home at the end of the day and treat her well. Then comes Chantal, a headstrong French dancer with ambitious plans; all she wants is a man who will make her dreams of fame come true. Then we meet Alice, a well-to-do opinionated woman of class and breeding; all she wants is a man who will shock her father and provide her with a little light interlude before she settles down with some Duke or Viscount. And finally there's Lucy, a sweet-natured nurse who sees only the good in everyone and only wants to support her man through both the good and bad times.

Jimmy's life is on trial and the women in his life are both judge and jury in this surreal, madcap, melodic, musical feast. Which woman will win the day and the heart of our would-be Don Juan?

The whole story is told via music and dance featuring 20 new songs by Brayson.

So if you want to see a brand-new musical before the West End or Broadway comes knocking, then why not come to the Gaiety Theatre on Oct 10th and meet that loveable rascal Jimmy Mac?

JIMMY MAC the musical by Stuart Brayson receives its world premiere at the Gaiety Theatre on Oct 10th as part of Theatre Fest 15 supported by Isle of Man Arts Council and NODA.

The cast of JIMMY MAC the musical include Simon Gordon as Jimmy Mac with Erin Caldwell, Victoria Mellors, Kristene Sutcliffe and Michelle Jamieson.
