Pip Utton

Labels by Pip Utton

Directed byJeremy Towler

Written by Louis de Bernières, adapted and performed by Pip Utton.

Louis de Bernières is one of the country’s leading writers, and is the prize winning author of the best selling ‘Captain Corelli’s Mandolin’.

This is a whimsical and comic tale of the obsession that leads our hero down the slippery path of self-destruction. The audience are taken smiling along this path before finally realising that  his strange obsession will prove to be the means of his salvation. It is a tale of an innocent searching for a new interest in life, only to find himself taken over by his new passion and taken to the brink of self-destruct. Obsession, deceit, novelty lingerie and cat food. When there’s nothing else to eat …

Usually the first half of  double bill with Kean.

(40 mins, 1 on the road domestically 2 internationally , workshops available)

Reviews

"Utton unfolds his tale with a bewildered charm and touches of mastery."

The List
"An ever-so-slightly wicked tale of the unexpected. A tasty show."

The Guardian
"Pip Utton romps through Labels with wide-eyed schoolboyish fervour. Bag a child to take along with you."

The Times
"Anything linked with de Bernières is good. And this is very good."
