Mess and You're Not Like The Other Girls Chrissy

<i>Mess</i>: Josephine is putting on a play - Boris and Sistahl help. It's about anorexia; but don't let that put you off - they are used to the big issues - and today they will tackle a particularly thin elephant in the room. Obsessed with obsession addiction and not wanting to get out of bed <i>Mess </i>is a play with songs from <i>The Stage</i>'s 2010 Best Solo Performer Award winner Caroline Horton.<br/><br/><i>You're Not Like the Other Girls </i><i>Chrissy: </i>January 1945. Paris has been liberated. Christiane an eccentric and acutely myopic Parisian waits at Gare Du Nord for a ticket to England to be reunited with her fiancé. Whilst she waits this gloriously irrepressible mademoiselle recounts the story of her love affair with Cyril a tongue-tied English teacher from Staffordshire. <i>You're Not Like Other Girl's Chrissy </i>is a fond comical and ultimately poignant portrait of one woman's experience of love and war. <br/><br/>This programme text coincides with China Plate Theatre's production of <i>Mess</i> which is at the Traverse in Edinburgh for August 2012 and then tours the UK until the end of September. <i>You're Not Like Other Girls Chrissy</i> will play at the Bristol Old Vic for a week with another week on tour to come after.
