What's it like to be always
together, always to be one of a pair, always to share the praise and the
blame and never ever to have a birthday cake that’s just for you?
Fittings’ new show takes
a brand new play by Russell Barr, mixes in the extraordinary
improvisational talents of David Hoyle with the vocal skills of
acclaimed soprano Denise Leigh, sets it all in the undiscovered places
that lurk behind the scenes
and invites a select audience to take a peek into the backstage world of
the famous Siamese Sisters Jessie and Bessie.
The famous Bellamy twins,
have been touring together for what seems like centuries. "Of course",
as Jessie says to Bessie, "On the road, darling, you’re never alone".
But Miss Glenda and her new act The Special Detachment, seems to be
taking togetherness a bit too far.
Let Glenda lead you just a little bit astray.
Gather now and come along,
Come along with Glenda,
Have a little chat
And a nice cup of tea.
Gather now and come along
Come along with Glenda
Have a little heart to heart.
And who knows what you’ll see
Take a peek behind the curtain, have a look through the mirror, let
Glenda guide you and who knows what you’ll see. Let her lead you to the
quiet places, lead you to the side rooms, the rooms that smell of sweat
and stardust, where masks are carefully adjusted, the castrati gently
clear their throats and performing dogs weep bitter tears….
Let her lead you to an audience with the Twins.
