Timing is the first play by impressionist, actor and writer Alistair McGowan and, as you'd expect, it's a comedy. When Julian Mann goes to work one morning to record a sat-nav commercial, little does he expect to working along-side his ex. She's not just any ex either - she's the woman who captured his heart, shared his life for 5 years then left him and hasn't spoken to him since. |

The Duckworths delight in playing between opposing lyrical, thematic and musical extremes; light and dark, humour and horror, noise and silence. They have played to opera audiences, at the UK DMC turntable finals and were most requested band on Glastonbury festival radio. Having toured around England and Europe, and consistently selling out venues across the west, The Duckworths debut album Moonshine was produced by Jim Barr of Portishead fame. Their previous self produced EP attracted interest from several independent and major record labels, sold thousands and lead to an approach to provide their music for BBC podcasts and a forthcoming television show.
