Due to open next weekend at the Cine-teatro in Loulé, ‘Remnants of an Empire’ is an original play scripted by Nicky Moran.
A long-term Algarve resident and playwright, this will be the fifth production written by Nicky and performed by the English language theatre group ‘A Portada’.
A virtuoso of storytelling, she is able to weave the narrative and characters into an intriguing whole. Ensuring audience appeal her dialogues are packed with wit and the plot of each play takes unexpected twists and turns.
‘Remnants of an Empire’ is no exception as two eccentric, elderly sisters in India are confounded by secrets of their past.
Well respected as an actress, Nicky always takes a major role in the plays that she has written. Memorable productions include ‘Lights Out’, ‘Thicker than Water’, ‘Snakes & Ladders’ and ‘Angels’ Feathers’.
The script of this new play has been carefully researched reflecting the colonial experience and life for those that decided to remain after the British Empire collapsed.
Directed by Priscilla Morgan with set and costume designs by Lesley Sweeney and a cast of four including Nicky Moran, Julie Holland, Thomas Hartmann and Simon Tubb.
