The Austerity Games @telltelltale Saturday 16 July 2.30pm & 7pm @SalfordArts @GMFringe
"Uplifting story of post-war UK...Beautifully scripted...it is not surprising that this is an award winning show"
1948. Beleaguered Britain is recovering from the Blitz, austerity measures are in full force across the country and there is a heat wave on the way. But old Martha Britt wants to bake a cake and there are no eggs to be found. To make matters worse it is the eve of the 1948 Olympic Games and she cannot abide sport. Can a visit from her late husband and the ghosts of the games past, present and yet to come convince her to save the Olympic spirit
and herself? Tell Tale blend an award winning triathlon of physical storytelling, British wit and slapstick with a dash of Dickens to bring you the sportiest play you’ll ever see. Pip, Pip!
