Classic comedy at the Brewery Arts (From Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard)

Classic comedy at the Brewery Arts

FOR a classic comedy this season look no further than Brewery Arts on Friday, December 17 at 8pm when Cornelius and Jones present their highly acclaimed one man show, The Diary of a Nobody.

A hugely entertaining chronicle of English life and trivia in its Victorian heyday, The Diary of a Nobody centres around the character of Mr Charles Pooter, an assistant in a mercantile business, who recounts with an amusing simplicity his domestic, social and business troubles and their satisfactory results.

From respectable suburbia to the City office, he tells of his constant war against insolent tradesmen, impudent junior clerks and his irrepressible son, Lupin. The ruffled complacency of this Victorian Malvolio incites him to set down these untoward incidents in a prim, old-fashioned style which heightens their absurdity and makes him more than ever a figure of fun to those who, unlike himself, see the joke.
