Wasps vs Humans, Simon David Clark

A two man play, written and performed by Wasps vs Humans (aka Carl Antony Plover) and Simon David Clark, The Nearly Men is a semi-autobiographical production, drawn from their own experience of writing a comedy series together. A comedy, which nearly made the big time.

Set in the confines of an unkempt bedsit, the play moves between two characters; a failed musician and a rejected scriptwriter and reveals the struggles and frustrations of nearly making it in the TV and music industry.

A writer down on his luck, looking back on a rejected comedy script struggles to move on from the characters he has created. The musician with doomed band and girlfriend gone is still convinced he's just one step away from superstardom; thick skinned and blind faith makes his downfall even more compelling.
