MARGATE: Tom Thumb Theatre

FRI 24TH MAY, 2013 7.30pm

We’re standing on a beach in America. Venice Beach, in L.A. Behind us are the shops and beach bars, shuttered and dark in the off-season, in front is the wet sand and the ocean, dark waves tipped in white...

Following a failed attempt at a break-up in the Royal Festival Hall Cafe and a stint in Couples Counselling to work things out between them ‘tatty-del are making it work’ tracks Natalie and Hana over one tumultuous year in their relationship as they learn about negotiating their roles in the double-act. A heartfelt celebration of the pleasures and the difficulties of friendship, the pair think back to the formative friendships of their pasts, explore the memories that they have of time spent together and chew over the distinct differences in how each party recollects them.

The resultant show is an earnest and irreverent mix of stand-up story-telling, autobiographical candor and the dramatic re-enactment of real life experiences... as well as hours on the beach, sat together, waiting for the waves to come in.
