Substance And Shadow Theatre

This fast-paced comedy follows the fortunes of mismatched cousins, Leonard ‘Len’ Silver and Melvyn Gould, who are reunited after the sudden death of Len’s mum. Left out of his mother’s will and living in the back of his car; Len finds that desperate times call for desperate measures.

Over a game of arrows at the wake, Len realises Melvyn is something of a ‘hot shot’ and hatches a plan to get them on classic TV show, Bullseye. Fame and fortune could be Len’s if he can convince Melvyn to take him on the show as the brains of the operation, but Melvyn has plans of his own for wooing Shirley, the local barmaid.

And after some careful ‘persuasion’ by Len, the dream team of Silver and Gould get their chance on TV, but can they hit the bullseye and scoop the star prize, or will they checkout with just BFH – bus fare home? Everything hangs on the throw of a dart…
