ATHEATRE company that has made a name for itself by taking a humorous look at Hong Kong through expatriate eyes is heading back to the Fringe Club with familiar faces and new plays.
Richard Smith, a one-time lawyer who left the territory two years ago to study at the Old Vic in Bristol, is making a special trip to the territory to appear in The Not So Loud Theatre Company's latest instalment of Sex, Thugs and Rock 'n' Roll (Part 2).
Featuring two short plays and a stand-up routine, writer and performer Neil Harris promises 90 minutes of red hot comedy for the four-night run.
First up is Whitney Houston Stole My Underpants, a farcical story set at the Italian World Cup when two Scots lads who have nothing in common except their love of football are forced to share a hotel room.
Written by Smith, who was bitten by the football bug while back in Britain, the play also features a psychotic butcher, a television evangelist named Dean Martin and a housewife hell bent on revenge.
Making a half-time appearance are Reg and Ron, two characters who know everything about anything and will bend any hapless ear they can find. Created in 1992 as Asia bores, Reg and Ron have gone on to bigger things to become authors of the Lonely Pillocktravel guides.
