Verbal Diary The Mission Theatre Bath

Verbal Diary, will be coming to The Mission Theatre this June as part of the Bath Fringe Festival.

The feel-good show was written by John Otway and Paul Bradley in 1984. It was originally produced by Rik Mayll and features original music by John Otway.

Comedian and actor Tom Johnson has worked with Otway to revive the musical comedy which ran at last year’s Edinburgh Festival. Now it’s going on tour.

The story follows Gordon, a photographer who decides to take charge of his life after everything falls apart.

In the process, he starts to keep a diary and aims to get a girlfriend – Cheryl – his new flatmate.

But flatmates Phil and Tristam – alongside Cheryl – have other ideas. They’re reading his diary, anticipating his every move.
