Unbound Theatre present a revival of this acclaimed trilogy of one-act plays by Dario Knight, performed across a single week from 8 – 14 April 2024.
Each play runs for two evenings, before the full trilogy is performed across a single day on Sunday 14 April.
PLAY ONE – ‘FUNNY VOICES’ (THE ACTOR’S TALE)
London, 1984. ‘Jolly Joyce’ Burrows returns to the Regency Theatre to perform her one-woman show. The venue holds all manner of memories for her, and she’s about to relive them.
A series of visitors to her dressing room lead her to recall her long life and career, from the music hall stage and the golden age of radio, to film sets and sitcoms. So many stories, so many characters, so many voices.
But what of the story that began when the laughter ended? It’s time for that to be told as well…

PLAY TWO – ‘RETREAT’ (THE WRITER’S TALE)
London, 2004. Jenny Miller is on a writing retreat. She’s got an idea for a new project, but needs to find the right way of diggit it up.

Because sometimes, opening up your imagination lets out far more than you intended…
