Four Stars for Field Street Monologues

Four Star Review of Jules Garvey-Welch’s Field Street Monologues by Lois Zoppi on Broadway Baby website.

“What happens behind closed doors? How much do you really know about your neighbours? Is that knowledge you’re better left without? The Field Street Monologues consists of six monologues exploring exactly those things. We meet a young man embarking on his first dating in the dark experience, a clown recounting the lifelong escalation of hatred for his mother, a businessman mourning the loss of a very close friend. Just along the road there is a theatre costumier gossiping about the cast of divas backstage, a naive bachelor finding love on the internet and a wife with murder – and whelks – in mind. We peek behind each door on a Black Country street and delve into a neighbourhood full of unique, intriguing stories.”

 

As part of the show, I sang Philip Jeays’ The Knife, my own Portsmouth Fairy Tales song, The Ghost of Sherlock Holmes (rediscovered by Matt Parsons and Janet Ayers)  and the brand new Eliza Cartwright ballad, cowritten with playwright Jules Garvey-Welch. With shows at Titchfield Festival Theatre, Southwick Church and Brighton Fringe, this show should run and run. Entertaining, poignant, wry, provocative.

Look out for Jules Garvey-Welch in theatres and on radio in future.
