What Inspired you to create this show, why this story
After our show Botox or Bust, we had done rewrites, and were working towards a Rehearsed Reading of the new version of the show, then Covid, social distancing and lockdown hit. To keep writing and to keep sane, and to keep in line with social distancing rules, Real Housewives was born as a spin off show from BoB. It is written around 3 characters who had proved popular, which would make it easier to stage and tour.
What do audiences have to look forward to?
Fun, silly, flamboyant characters, and total fantastic drama queens, “I do that “ moments.
Have there been any obstacles in its creation?
Not least Covid and social distancing, but keeping the team on board and enthusiastic, keeping the faith and the vision.
Who are the collaborators on this production?
Monika Brodowska, Terri Spencer, Nick Duncombe, Duncan Trew and Graeham Lawrence.
