REVEALING the dirtiest secrets of real people in their own words, Lizzie Roper delves into the nation's views on sex, when she appears in Peccadillo Circus at The Plough at Torrington tomorrow (Friday). This unique solo show embarks on a national tour following highly successful and critically acclaimed Edinburgh and West End seasons. To create the show, Lizzie interviewed people with very different sex lives, including an online sex addict, a non-orgasmic woman, a dominatrix and a Jungian analyst in her seventies. The recorded footage was edited down to create an hour that weaves the most interesting accounts together into an insightful, poignant and surprisingly funny take on Britain's sex life. This is played back through earphones, and Lizzie repeats the interviewees' comments word-for-word, replicating their vocal patterns to create a compelling, live experience for the audience. Lizzie discovered this type of verbatim theatre when she worked with the Time Out award winning company Recorded Delivery on 'All the Right People Come Here'. She immediately saw the appeal for a comedy audience, and is the first to create a solo show using this technique. The show earned her a nomination in The Stage Awards for Acting Excellence for Best Solo Show, at the Edinburgh festival last year. Tickets: £9 full / £8 Concession / £7 Supporters Box Office: 01805 624624.
