PREVIEW: Brighton Fringe: How Will I Know? by German Munoz

Posted on 16/04/201516/04/2015 by Contributor

Fast-paced modern farce about sham marriages plays Brighton Fringe this May.

THREE young Seattleites take on love, sex, and the US immigration service in this deliciously irreverent farce.

Mark would do anything to keep his Mexican boyfriend in the US, but marriage isn’t on the cards yet. When his best friend Brooke offers to marry Diego, it seems the trio has hatched the perfect plan. But with their green card interview looming and tensions riding high, it becomes increasingly difficult to tell which relationship is the real sham…

Mexican/British playwright German Munoz (Arvon/Jerwood playwright 2013-2014) has drawn on personal experience as well as the controversial phenomenon of binational gay couples resorting to sham marriages in order to help their partners remain in the USA.

How Will I Know? enjoyed a sell-out run at London’s White Bear Theatre in January 2014 and Playthings Theatre is making its Brighton Fringe debut with the production in May.

Starring Neil Allen, Anna Frankl-Duval and Niccolo Curradi. Directed by Kanika Clayton (Wordplay/Free Fall, Straying in Seattle), the artistic director of Playthings Theatre and written by German Munoz (work performed at The Bush Theatre, Arcola Theatre, Theatre503).

“The physical comedy was superb… the audience constantly in hysterics… a hugely entertaining affair.” Everything Theatre

Kemptown candidate furious over Labour A27 “cash cut”

Posted on 16/04/2015 by Sarah Green

Simon Kirby, Conservative Candidate for Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven has condemned the announcement by the Labour Party that they will cut promised funding for A27 improvements and use the money to freeze rail fares for one year.

THE Conservatives have promised to freeze rail fares for five years and still provide money to relieve the congestion affecting the A27, which will also help other roads such as the South Coast Road in Woodingdean and Rottingdean.

Mr Kirby claims the information has been confirmed to him by the Treasury.

He said: ‘This is typical of the short-sighted policies being peddled by the Labour Party in this election. Everyone knows the A27 needs upgrading but not, apparently, the Labour Party. The A27 proposals will ease congestion in other local roads as well.

“Conservatives have confirmed that we will freeze rail fares for five years, not just one as Labour are suggesting, AND provide money for these vital upgrades. Labour, as always, needs to think again.”

A spokesperson for Labour, responded saying: “Labour is saying that we intend to go ahead with the works on the A27 with the exception of the specific Arundel bypass – this is due to cut through a National Park and so raises a number of environmental issues that need to resolved before we give this one section of road improvement the go ahead.

“Instead of an uncosted Tory plan they have no idea how they will pay for, Labour will deliver a fully funded rail fares freeze for one year.”
