Love in Slough
A new one-man musical
Written and performed by Alexander Williams
Based on the songs of Phil Craddock
The Premiere Performance will be as part of the Watford Fringe Festival
at The Pump House Theatre, 5.30pm Friday 12th July 2024
Love in Slough is the story of Jack, a middle-aged man tied to an unfulfilling marriage, whose drab, directionless life is given an injection of vigour when he embarks on an unexpected affair. The funny, fast-paced script is bursting with wonderful jazz tunes which drive us through Jack’s journey of self-discovery as he traverses a new world of openness, intimacy and redefined relationships. Join us for the premiere performance of what promises to be an exciting and uplifting new musical!
