Does life imitate art or is it just something that stalks Eddie and Jackie? Jackie and Eddie are two (failing) actors living in Dingle. Eddie is armed with a dusty typewriter, meditation and a teddy bear (Stanislavski The Bear), Jackie a new diet, (jogging and eating at same time) another bad date and choosing the wrong roles.

Presented by Crumbs Theatre, sees the two friends feeling frustrated by each other’s company, comparing their lives to stages of Madonna’s career. Eddie is feeling ‘frozen’ by his ex-boyfriend and in a rut with the Job Centre. And Jackie is just feeling that her last audition was as bad as ‘Swept Away’.

Will Eddie answer his Mothers phone calls and forget his ex boyfriend/s? Will Jackie stop ***ing fidgeting and find her dream role? Will they ever star in the perfect play? Or will their mountain of debt continue to rise?
