EastEndless
Obsessive Productions
London, UNITED KINGDOM - ENGLAND
EastEndless, starring James Holmes (Clive from Miranda)
Obsessed fan Tony Coventry has every EastEnders episode on video (except for the one where Alfie can't find a condom), but when he lands a bit part on the show, his dream job soon turns into a nightmare. Tim Fountain’s hilarious play is a blackly comic look behind the scenes of Britains favourite soap. Directed by Mike Bradwell.
“Sad, moving and very funny”.
Suzanne Moore, Guardian
“A delight, funny, charming, poignant”
Marina O’Loughlin, Sunday Times
"Crammed with treasurable one-liners and trivia steeped asides, the show brilliantly honours the soap's lasting value while excavating loneliness in the social media age ... a knock-out solo" 4 stars
Dominic Cavendish, Telegraph
“Very, very funny, touching and terrifyingly relatable”
Mark Gatiss
“Great acting and clever writing made this a fantastic show. I laughed out loud from start to finish”
Lindsey Coulson, Carol Jackson in EastEnders
“Ever wondered what it’s like getting a part in Eastenders? See this show! This show is the real deal!’
Roger Sloman, Les Coker in Eastenders
"James Holmes is heartbreakingly detailed yet hilarious as Eastenders super fan Tony Coventry. I wanted to watch it again- immediately!"
Samantha Spiro, Sex Education
"A remarkable performance, which was also very touching ... A triumph"
Sue Holderness, Only Fools and Horses
“James Holmes gives a fabulous performance that should be award-winning if there's any justice.”
Tim McInnerny, Blackadder
“A real cracker of a show. Genuinely funny. Belly laughs and real wit. And moving when you least expect it.”
Adrian Noble, Ex Artistic Director Royal Shakespeare company
“I enjoyed this so much. I was worried that my ignorance of Eastenders would be a problem but my familiarity with loneliness, anxiety and obsession stood me in good stead. It’s a brilliant piece.”
Chris Campbell, ex Literary Manager Royal Court Theatre
