One More Matinee. Written by Cirencester Radio presenter and Cirencester Theatre Company member Duncan Belcher, Based on the Mark Knopfler song of the same name, the play is about two of the last music hall dames still touring the small provincial theatres, Cyril and George. Part of a revue troop that includes a magician, an escapologist, a dog trainer, a ventriloquist and an alligator called Algernon. This group of artists from another age are at the end of a tour that looks like being the last. The play follows Cyril’s unsuccessful attempts to commit suicide using the other performer’s props and George’s belief that someone is trying to kill both of them. This is a comedy with tragic circumstances and attempts to reflect on the lives of these two great friends with each other’s interests at heart. The play concludes with the song it was inspired by playing out as ‘One More Matinee’ comes to its end.
