Tim and Andy: An Adventure at The Darkroom

What are friends really for? Why are doorknobs so expensive in this modern age? How do you break up with someone in a wheelchair for reasons purely to do with personality, while keeping within the boundaries of political correctness?

Tim and Andy: An Adventure is a devised comedy that takes us inside the hopelessly funny, trivial world of two social outcasts.There is no doorknob on the outside of their Newtown flat. Aspiring actor, Tim, avoids auditions, watching TV at home, waiting for his flatmate Andy to come home ... so he can let him in. Andy is a diligent and generous soul who enjoys toiling away at the local Subway sandwich bar, hoping one day to don the maroon manager's cap of success. The fragile ecosystem within which these misfits live is shattered when Andy lands a role in a Subway commercial, catapulting him into quasi-stardom and Tim into a jealous rage that could end their life-long friendship. The show features live performances inside a giant cardboard TV set, live music, and live wig use.
Tim and Andy: An Adventure was performed in May 2008 in the NZ International Comedy Festival, at BATS Theatre, Wellington and is written, directed and performed by Nic Sampson, Joseph Moore and Michael Trigg.
26-28 June, 10:30pm, The Darkroom, Centrepoint Theatre, Palmerston North

Tim and Andy: An Adventure
"All three actors are clearly talented, extracting comedy by staying true to their characters, touching truthful emotional nerve-ends, demanding empathy from an audience they are clearly in tune with, and exhibiting a sure sense of timing." (John Smythe, Theatreview).
