Although a relatively young group, Red Hot Theatre has already made a big impact. A charity night for the Slough Homeless Run held in March this year was a tremendous success, bringing rave reviews and raising an impressive £600. Consisting of two one-act plays - 'Think', written and directed by Louise Oldman, and Louise Page's 'Tissue' directed by Aby Bery - the reviews were fantastic.

Further success was to be had in the 2002 Maidenhead Drama Festival. While 'Tissue' collected the award for overall winners, 'Think' picked up awards for Best Unpublished Play and Best Stage Presentation. 'Tissue' was then put forward for the All England Drama Festival semi final and despite some steely competition, the production came in a well-deserved second place.

Sam & Cy
Comedy duo Sam Ball and Cy Henty fondly remember that fateful day when they were thrown together to share a small cupboard in the Halls of Residence at Manchester University and told quite simply to get on with it. Occasionally sneaking out to procure a diet of cheap booze and Pot Noodles, they began to formulate what has been described as a ‘unique style of comedy’. For a number of years, the pair lived a strange double life, responsible Mental Health Professionals by day but a completely irresponsible comedy duo by night.

Quite simply, you should not miss them. The pace of their show never drops as an audience weak with laughter is dragged into a bizarre world where anything could happen. During their eight-week run at the Canal Cafe Theatre, they introduced a devastating line up of new characters from the two touring Evangelists who find themselves listening to a vocational lecture by Psycopath Bern entitled ‘A Career Inside’, to the surreal pensioners, Edie and Len, searching for inspiration amongst the drudgery of everyday life.

So don’t miss the opportunity to see the pair perform locally in such a great venue. Predicted to be huge by all the people that count, their off-beat style is guaranteed to keep you laughing till it hurts.
