DUBLIN HAT-TRICK FOR NORTH EAST WRITERS



A play that started life out on Tyneside will be playing Dublin for the third time in three years next month.



Dirty Dusting, an outrageous comedy about three pensioners who get made redundant and set up a telephone s*x line, will be performed from September 10 to October 4 at the Tivoli theatre in the Irish capital. It previously played two runs at the city’s Gaiety Theatre where it attracted more than 35,000 people.



The play, written by Ed Waugh and Trevor Wood, made its highly successful New Zealand premiere throughout July this year and such is the demand for the show Down Under another New Zealand run is being planned, followed by an Australian tour next year.



Trevor Wood said: “Dirty Dusting has probably played to around 100,000 people in England, Ireland, Scotland and New Zealand, so we’re delighted with its success.



“Of course, it helps when we have the most well known entertainer in Ireland, Adele King, in the show but Dirty Dusting has proved so popular it has been the subject of Irish television programmes and national radio phone-ins. Likewise in New Zealand.”



Ed, from South Shields, and Trevor, from Newcastle, have also had a national and international stage hit with Waiting For Gateaux, which has blazed the trail Down Under, playing New Zealand in 2006 and Australia earlier this year.



The comedy about the worst slimming club in the world, premiered at the Customs House in 2003 and has since gone on to sell out at Newcastle Theatre Royal. In July it had a successful run at Winchester Theatre Royal



The most recent Ed Waugh and Trevor Wood show, Son of Samurai, played to around 800 enthusiastic people at the recent Latitude Festival and embarks on a north east tour in September, taking in South Tyneside, Teesside and Newcastle.



Son of Samurai will be performed at the Customs House, South Shields, September 4 to 6. For tickets contact (0191) 454 1234; Stockton Arc, Teesside, September 18 to 20 (01642) 525199; and Newcastle Theatre Royal, September 25 to 27 (08448 11 21 21). Tickets cost from £6.
