The Con Man
Written by Nick Downes & Clive Holland
This was the first production created and produced by Mischievous Theatre (we weren’t a CIC then) and was first performed (well, fifteen minutes of it) as a work-in-progress piece at the Theatre Royal, Margate in January 2010 as part of the PanEK (Performing Arts Network East Kent) new theatre day. In due course the 15 minutes became an hour and fifteen minutes and was performed in East Kent, at the Tom Thumb Theatre, the Ramsgate Festival (Summer Squall), the Canterbury Festival and the New Diorama, London.
The Con Man, a one man show, was set in an empty Elizabethan theatre in the engaging and enjoyable company of Tom Askew, a comic player with Shakespeare’s acting troupe. The Con Man took the audience on a dizzying gallop through the theatres, alehouses, back alleys and palaces of 16th Century England; a darkly comic cut-throat world of intrigue, espionage, theatre, danger and death. The full version was directed by Nick Downes.
Clive plays with a rambunctious self-mocking technique … a quite brilliant performance.
