Award
nominated London Theatre company comes to the Customs House!

LKT Productions were nominated for two prestigious Off West
End Awards for their recent London production of Th’Importance of Bein’ Earnest that saw the Oscar Wilde classic
relocated to a Yorkshire Council estate with hilarious results. They are now
delighted to be visiting Customs House as they take their critically acclaimed
production Oh No It Isn’t! on tour.
They’re the best of sisters onstage but the worst of
friends off it.
It’s the final performance of Cinderella in a moth-eaten,
regional theatre and backstage tensions threaten to boil over onstage. Will the egotism, oneupmanship and sexual
politics remain confined to the dressing room?
Will the ugly sisters keep the professional professional and the
personal personal? Will we ever find out
what happened during Babes In The Wood?
Oh No
It Isn’t! is written by and stars Great British Pantomime Award
nominee Luke Adamson. His new play is a reflection on his 20 years in the
theatre, how the business has changed and the challenges that actors and
theatres face in the 21st century. The
hilarious and moving new play combines scenes and routines from pantomime with
the backstage dramas of the two actors playing the ugly sisters in Cinderella.
Adamson says “a lot of the anecdotes and stories featured in the show have
actually happened to, or been retold to me while working in theatre. Some are
genuinely unbelievable but very true. Pantomime is probably the single most
popular show in a theatre’s calendar and Oh
No It Isn’t provides a chance for the audience to enjoy some of their
favourite scenes from panto outside of the festive season, but also a unique
opportunity to see behind the curtain and appreciate the hard work, the
sacrifices and the real lows that can affect those involved in creating their
Christmas treat.”
Luke is delighted to
be returning to Customs House after his critically acclaimed Alzheimer’s play One Last Waltz played there in 2015:
“Customs House is a brilliant venue that does brilliant work for its community,
we thoroughly enjoyed our visit in 2015 and I can’t wait to come back. I’m also
very excited to be playing at a venue that has such a renowned pantomime! The
style and quality of the Customs House panto is revered all over pantoland.”
