Excellent Choice

by Eye Saw Theatre

Running Time: 30mins

Excellent Choice is a two-man show, starring Jeff Rawle and Benjamin Dilloway, by Rob Hayes, published by Oberon, who's shortly to have one of his plays, 9 Out Of 12 Steps, at Trafalgar Studios. Excellent Choice tells the story of a very rare, fine wine shop. A customer who manages to find it discovers the rather unusual shop owner. At first they seem to be conducting a normal transaction but then secrets about their past and present lives and motives carry us off on a dark journey.

Presented by Eye Saw Theatre, this hilarious new comedy shows at VAULT at 6pm, Thursday – Sunday (with 3pm matinees on Saturday and Sunday) of the final week. Tickets cost only £5 for 30 minutes – palatable, affordable and brilliant!

Excellent Choice is directed by Ned Bennett – trained at LAMDA, he was apprentice Director to Sean Mathias on Breakfast at Tiffany's at the Haymarket and is also part of the young directors’ programme at the Young Vic. He is about to start rehearsals with Philip Ridley, directing the first revival of Mercury Fur.

We are honoured to have Jeff Rawle on stage at VAULT – a renowned English actor, with credits including Harry Potter, Drop the Dead Donkey and Hollyoaks. Playing alongside Jeff will be Benjamin Dilloway –also trained at LAMDA, he has performed in the Old Vic 24hr Plays, Orphans at the Linbury Studio, Tape at Counter Culture and more besides.

Eye Saw brings together carefully chosen professionals to produce insightful yet fierce entertainment within a realistic framework. Drama really should be the cornerstone of any good society but never a cultural burden. After the grind of a working day the last thing you need is a stiff message shoved down your neck. With Eye Saw, recreation is paramount. Some work may be comic, some may be hard hitting but all must be entertaining or we don't want to see it.

NB: Online tickets go off sale at 5pm for Eye Saw (2pm for matinees). There may still be tickets on the door!
