Sign of the Times


Sign of the Times, Norwich Theatre Royal, 2009

Cast: Stephen Tomkinson, Tom Shaw

Writer: Tim Firth
Director: Peter Wilson (who was at the same time Chief Executive of the Norwich Theatre Royal and had his own production company, which feels like a cheating way of getting your play on)

When I looked at the programme I thought, "man on a roof" and it turns out it was about two men putting up a sign on a roof. As Tim Firth wrote Calendar Girls and then a musical using Take That songs I suspect it wasn't as much like Waiting for Godot as the idea sounds.
