Opening Times

Sorry, this event has passed

Organised by Devon-based arts charity Villages in Action, this event is part of the From Devon With Love festival – an annual scratch performance festival, originally established by The Bike Shed Theatre, which supports some of the region's best talent to test new work in front of a live audience.

Isobel Jeffery and Four of Swords present
The Magical Screentest of Isobel Jeffery

A disarmingly honest self-portrait of aspiring actor Isobel Jeffery: the heroic, poignant tale of how Isobel has worked to overcome learning disabilities and health problems, and how she is fighting now to realise her dream of being an actor.

The show takes the form of a conversation between Isobel and cartoonish film producer Mr Hollywood Big Bucks, played by Phil Kingslan John from Four of Swords. Their interview is punctuated with demonstrations of the tactics Isobel has developed to learn scripts, a mind-bending quiz on world mythology and some short films of skits and sketches, all created from the wonderfully wacky imagination of Isobel Jeffery.
