Crazy Gary's Mobile Disco

by Gary Owen

Overview

Saturday night, small town Wales, one pub, one party and three lads stuck with their school reputations - the gimp, the geek and the bully. Their dream - to get the hell out

With a dead cat stuffed through a letterbox, a soupcon of mindless violence and the perfect girl to die for, Crazy Gary's Mobile Disco bristles with the desperately ordinary, the truly extraordinary, and the just plain mad. Heroic, comic and right up your street, director Vicky Featherstone's reputation for excellence coupled with Gary Owen's dazzling gist for storytelling, creates another unmissable hit for Paines Plough in a co-production with Sgript Cymru - national new writing company of Wales.

Produced by Paines Plough, with Sgript Cymru, and directed by Vicky Featherstone, Crazy Gary's Mobile Disco premiered at the Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff, in February 2001.
