The Glass Trebuchet and PBH’s Free Fringe present:
“Love Is Darkness, Baby! (Get Used To It!)”
Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2010
Written and performed by Darren J. Coles, Scott Hadley, Susie Holden-White, Will Palmer, Luc Tudor and Glenn Wade.
Love Is Darkness, Baby! (Get Used To It!) is a story of sex, drugs, death and celluloid. Seasoned sketch performers The Glass Trebuchet are bringing to this year’s Fringe Festival a full-length comedy play about the fallout from an ill-fated cult film. The play takes the form of a question and answer session that quickly descends into a darkly comic game of whodunit. The production crew of ‘The Final Mistake’ are hiding a terrible secret – and they’re not hiding it very well. Gun-running in El Salvador, human slave trafficking, prescription drug abuse, racist sitcoms, widespread environmental destruction and sexual excess to the nth degree are just some of the crimes these men are guilty of. But it is the mysterious disappearance of the beautiful teenage actress Fleur Devilleneuve that they are most keen to hide.
“Cracking”, Andy Parsons, sketch performed Darren J. Coles, Will Palmer and Luc Tudor, 2010.

“An enjoyable experience for all [...] Scott Hadley was particularly fantastic”, Cardiff University’s gair rhydd, ‘Cinderotica’, written and directed by Will Palmer and Luc Tudor, Cardiff 2009.
