This original comedy-drama, written & produced by Vanessa Stevenson — starring Irish soap star, Marcus Seoighe and directed by a West End director — delighted Edinburgh Fringe audiences for the entire month of the festival.

Due to strategic marketing by Vanessa, the show was a success, with audiences returning a second and third time.

Bacardi & MAC makeup sponsored the play to the tune of £12,000.

Vanessa co-wrote and produced this topical comedy-cabaret, which was sponsored by a wonderful French hotelier — and won the hearts of many on its national tour.

The play caught the attention of Pearson Television (now FREMANTLE MEDIA) and was subsequently commissioned as a TV sitcom
