Director: Tom Bailey Writer: Tom Bailey and Greg Jameson Theatre: Seven Arts, Leeds Duration: 90 mins Premiering at the Seven Arts Theatre in Leeds this weekend was Buerk! The Newsical, a breakthrough musical by Tom Bailey and Gregory Jameson. Charting the fictional fall and rise of BBC journalist Michael Buerk and his (extremely fictional) love affair with Moira Stuart, the two-act show is a warm-hearted and bawdy celebration of all things Nineteen-Eighties. Spotted by a crazed BBC News Editor and quickly fast-tracked to The Nine O’Clock News, Buerk (Gregory Jameson) is soon shoulder-to-shoulder and cheek-to-cheek with glamorous newsgirl Moira (Helen McDonald). Feeling very much aggrieved is lusty weatherman McCaskill (Ollie Burton), who musters all of his metrological voodoo to summon the great storm of 1987. A globe-trotting extravaganza of music, Mugabe and mulligatawny ensues as the two media heavyweights battle it out to win the woman of their dreams. |
