dirEcTOr’s NOTEs

Terry and Gary first appeared on stage

together at the subterranean Dive Bar

at Avery Hill College, Eltham, where

the stage was so small they had to stand one

behind the other to perform.

Written and performed by Ian Long

and Noel O’Reilly. they made regular

appearances in sketches such as “Fruit

Gums”, “Jet-Setting Socks” and “Walking

A Bit Fast Aren’t We, Sunshine?” at the

Woolwich Tramshed and other community

centres and the like, working towards the

downfall of Margaret Thatcher and the

furtherment of avant garde comedy.

They were incorporated into the musical

play “Fish And Chip Paper” by Ian Long and

Dave Burrluck which played the Greenwich

Festival in 1983 and opened up the Tunnel

Club (now …) for theatrical performance.

Some of the scripts were amalgamated into

a 30 minute sitcom (which compromises

much of Act One of tonight’s show)

which failed to set the media alight and

consequently has been languishing in

a drawer until this recent rebirth with a

contemporary sequel and a Christmas

Special to boot!

I don’t know – I’m too close to see it clearly.

All I know is that I am phenomenally grateful

to those people at the EAT who have had

enough faith in this show to want to put it in

front of you (and I’m

phenomenally grateful

to you too for

chancing your

evening and hard

earned cash on an

unknown play)
