There is a Light and a Whistle for Attracting Attention
“You’ve never seen Grease? Are you kidding? Ok. So there’s this guy and this girl…”
In the beginning there were stories. Stories of girls and women and men and Love. So when she meets him, she knows the script and she’s ready. But things are starting to go wrong and the stories she’s been told don’t serve her anymore.
She doesn’t fit the role.
She needs to rewrite her part. So she can be seen.
Be brave. Take a breath.
There is a Light and a Whistle for Attracting Attention is brought to you by award nominated Play Nicely Theatre (Splinter, The Mechanicals Present…). Their hit 2023 tour of Bruntwood Judge’s Prize winner Martha Loader’s play “Splinter” was a Finalist in the Pub Theatre Standing Ovation Awards and awarded an Offcomm.
Praise for Splinter
★★★★★ “A hauntingly heartbreaking ode to love and memory. A straightforward story told extraordinarily well, and with magnificent nuance. (London Theatre 1)
"A bold and intriguing production that tackles a topic still quite rarely seen on stage." (London Pub Theatre magazine)
