Preview - LKT Productions to tour hilarious OH NO IT ISN’T! Oh yes they are!
The London-based theatre company, LKT Productions are set for a
nationwide tour of their multi award-nominated panto-play, Oh No It Isn’t! This
follows quickly on from their recent Offie award-nominated and multi-starred
production of Th’Importance of Bein’ Earnest that saw Oscar Wilde’s classic
relocated to a Yorkshire Council estate with hilarious results - my review here.

| Robbie Capaldi & Luke Adamson |
Written by Luke Adamson, and starring Luke Adamson and Robbie
Capaldi, Oh No It Isn’t! is directed by Kennedy Bloomer and Toby Hampton will
be visiting some of the country’s most beautiful theatres between April and
June – see below for full schedule and booking information.
They’re the best of sisters
onstage but the worst of friends off it.
It’s
the final performance of Cinderella in a moth-eaten, regional theatre and
backstage tensions threaten to boil over onstage.
Will
the egotism, one-upmanship and sexual politics remain confined to the dressing
room?
Will
the ugly sisters keep the professional professional and the personal personal?
Will
we ever find out what happened during Babes In The Wood?
Great British Pantomime Award Nominee, writer and star of Oh No
It Isn’t!, Luke Adamson feels his new play is a reflection on his 20 years in
the theatre, how the business has changed and the challenges that actors and
theatres face in the 21st century.
It is both hilarious and moving, and the new play combines
scenes and routines from pantomime with the backstage dramas of the two actors
playing the ugly sisters in Cinderella.
Adamson says, ‘a lot of the anecdotes and stories featured in
the show have actually happened to, or been retold to me while working in
theatre. Some are genuinely unbelievable but very true. Pantomime is probably
the single most popular show in a theatre’s calendar and OH NO IT ISN’T!
provides a chance for the audience to enjoy some of their favourite scenes from
panto outside of the festive season, but also a unique opportunity to see
behind the curtain and appreciate the hard work, the sacrifices and the real
lows that can affect those involved in creating their Christmas treat.’
