WHILE THEY WERE WAITINGA New Comic Play by Gary WilmotNobody waits like Mulberry. Waiting is his hobby. He waits whenever and wherever he can. Whilst waiting for a big yellow door of opportunity to open, his reverie is smashed by the arrival of a stranger called Bix: an inquisitive, restless sort with skin too thick to realise his intrusion.Much to Mulberry's irritation, a profound and meaningful friendship develops.Written by and starring British entertainment legend Gary Wilmot (Me and My Girl, Adelphi Theatre; The Wizard of Oz, London Palladium & UK Tour; Something Rotten!, Theatre Royal Drury Lane), who reunites on stage with acclaimed actor and comedian Steve Furst (Little Britain, BBC; Mr Gum & The Dancing Bear, National Theatre; My Fair Lady, Curve Theatre), this warm, funny, and delightfully absurd new play explores patience, companionship, and our peculiar relationship with the implacable passing of time.Written by Gary WilmotStarring Gary Wilmot and Steve FurstDirected by Sydney Stevenson
