The Chameleon Players perform six short, witty one-act plays by David Ives at Blank Canvas, a sober venue at Princes Quay.
The Chameleon Players bring Time Flies to Blank Canvas on Thursday 19 November, with two more performances on Friday 20 and Saturday 21. It's a collection of six short plays by David Ives, and the title piece gives the whole thing its name.
Those six are Captive Audience, Time Flies, Murder at Twicknam Vicarage, A Singular Man, Babel, and Speed the Play — the last one is a bit of a stunt, four David Mamet plays summarised in just over seven minutes. The tone shifts across the set, moving from slapstick and parody to dark, dystopically funny territory, and there's strong language throughout. Time Flies follows two mayflies on a date who realise they've only twenty-four hours to live and decide to seize life completely, while Babel imagines two blue-collar Mesopotamian construction workers trying to build the Tower of Babel single-handedly.
Blank Canvas is a brand-new venue run by Blank Canvas CIC, on the third floor of Princes Quay, Waterhouse Lane, HU1 2PQ. It's strictly sober, so all drinks are alcohol-free, and there are ice creams at the interval. The room is wheelchair accessible.
