'Deftly written, impeccably acted. Must see' Telegraph

Alison loves cake, and needs to get over it. Savannah lives part-time in Sunnydale Rehabilitation Retreat, full-time in her head. They meet somewhere in between. Eventually one of them is left behind to remember... Mackenzie & McGuire bring you their comic play about two unlikely friends who meet in rehab, and the bizarre array of characters that inhabit their world.

Andy & Mike's Big Box of Bananas

Pleasance Islington — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 21:33:42 +0000

Andy & Mike
Saturday 20 March, Saturday 3 April & Saturday 10 April, 11am & 2.30pm

CBeebies Presenter Andy Day brings his much loved humour to this high energy, fast-paced children's comedy for 4-11-year-olds (and their entire families) as he and long-term comedy partner Mike James create the hilarious, slap-stick and chaotic ... ANDY & MIKE'S... Big Box of Bananas! A magical and mysterious box suddenly appears in the duo's 'fun pad' and quite unable to open the box, the boys make it their mission to find out what's inside! They set off on the adventure of their life, taking in worldly guidance from the suave, sophisticated and altogether modest narrator and accompanied by the audience who become 'house-sitters' in Andy & Mike's very own fun 'pad'.

Be prepared to meet confused pirates ... musical sea life ... and some extravagant all-singing all-dancing air stewards!

Oh...if you see Poppy the Pet Porpoise ... Will you tell us..? Well...WILL YOU??
