They’re the best of sisters onstage but the worst of friends off it. It’s the final performance of Cinderella in a moth-eaten, regional theatre and backstage tensions threaten to boil over onstage.
Will the egotism, one-up-manship and politics remain confined to the dressing room? Will the ugly sisters keep the professional professional and the personal personal? Will we ever find out what happened during Babes In The Wood?
Based on a lifetime of experience onstage and backstage Oh No It Isn’t! is a hilariously funny and beautifully moving new play exploring the highs and lows of life in the theatre. Written by Great British Pantomime Award nominee Luke Adamson and using real anecdotes and stories it is an impassioned yet tender love letter to the world of performance.
Oh No It Isn’t! is presented by the award-winning in-house Jack Studio team behind Kindred Spirits, A Christmas Carol and The Invisible Man.
Luke Adamson is an actor, writer, director, co-founder of JLA Productions and Artistic Director of The Bridge House Theatre in Penge. He made his professional stage debut aged nine, his television debut at sixteen, and began writing and directing while at drama school.
