Sole Purpose Productions is delighted to announce that their exciting and
innovative new production premières in October at the newly reopened Waterside

Abby Oliveira who is a performance poet with The Poetry Chicks; Jack Quinn who
recently appeared in Big Telly’s stage production of Spike Milligan’s Puckoon;

School of Music and Drama and Matt Jennings who has performed in numerous
professional productions. The musicians are Réa Curran who performs with Duke
Special and whose own band The Maximals is making a name for itself; Gary
Cunningham who plays with the brilliant Balkan Alien Sound and Krzysztof
Malinski who has been involved in a number of music projects and bands across
Europe.
