When Gary Maddocks rejoins Mike evans and his Counter IeD Team in Afghanistan he is pleased. He has been finding life back home with emma dull and is impatient to get back to the job he loves, but had he known what fate had in store for him would he have been so eager? Of course he would, its like an addiction, and if your luck runs out well thats it isnt it? But was it bad luck, faulty kit, or something else? After all Mike has been acting strangely lately and emma appears to be hiding something. When you step on a pressure plate you think you hear the click, or you think you feel it, but you don't know for sure. And you can't know because what you remember . . . well some of it isn't real.

Synopsis:
Why do you want to be funny? That's the question they keep asking him and he thought he knew the answer, but now he's not too sure. In fact he's not sure about anything anymore. Why is he putting himself through this? Is this some sort of midlife crisis? What exactly is funny anyway? This fast paced one act play explores the nature of comedy and why in the world anybody would want to become a comedian - or an actor, or a musician, or even a writer when it comes to it. Why don't you just stop listening to that little voice in your head, settle for what you've got, buy a motorbike and find yourself some Lithuanian gaol bait? Funny, sharp, incisive and more than just mildly amusing.

Synopsis:
Mr Henry Fielding and Company most respectfully announce to the Ladies and Gentlemen of Kentish Town their intention of staging Mr Fieldings novel, 'a History Of Tom Jones, a foundling'(Cunningly adapted for the Theatre by Mr ericson) at the Lion and Unicorn Theatre. The story follows the adventures of a young man of illegitimate birth through a tale of love, deception and mistaken identity; a feast of human nature, served up in the plain and simple manner of the West Country, but hashed and ragoud with all the high French and Italian seasoning of sex and vice. Will he gain his darling Sophias hand? Will he escape the hangmans noose? Will he ever learn to keep it in his trousers?

from the novel by Henry Fielding
