Totty Galore & the Expanding Suitcase
Totty Galore see’s William Dashwood, an accomplished physical actor play two roles, the Del Boy-esque street trader Frank and his widow Totty Galore. As Frank, William gives us a nice sense of an East End diamond, setting out his suitcase that holds an impossible amount of items. A nice monologue that would work as a cabaret act, Frank reveals tat after tat until his suitcase has provided a whole backdrop for the piece. Frank then morphs into his wife Totty, grieving the loss of Frank.
Clearly a labour of love, this solo show is a nostalgic and tender slice of the east-end looking at love, life and the loss of it all.
