STOP PRESS!! THEATRE KEGS BACK IN WA
Tue, 6 Aug 2002, 11:50 amThe UK Youth Theatre Group Theatre KEGS are at present touring WA with their production of "Up'n'Under".
Anyone who has ever seen this group perform will know that they consistently produce first rate shows - anyone who saw "White Socks & Stilettos" when they were here four years ago will know what I am talking about. The West Australian described them in July 2000 as "youth theatre of the ultimate standard".
They are performing tonight at the Wongan Hills Civic Centre at 7.30 pm. Tickets available at the door.
The Perth performances will be on Friday, 9th and Saturday, 10th August at 8.00 pm at the Christ Church Grammar School Drama Centre. Entrance is free but please book on 9442 1584 as there are limited tickets.

UP'N'UNDER BY JOHN GODBER
It’s not the winning – it’s the taking apart!!
Finding touch, knocking on, handing off and scoring trys - Up'n'Under is John Godber's hilarious knockabout comedy about love, life and losing.
Set somewhere in the north of England, Up 'n' Under is the tale of an amateur rugby league team from 'The Wheatsheaf Arms' - a pub team whose pride lies in their unbroken record of defeat. Arthur Hoyle, a retired player who is an avid fan of cinema and who believes the underdog will always triumph in the end, dreams of sporting glory against the local champions. He bets his mortgage theyÂ’ll win!
"Come and have a go..."
Arthur undertakes to train the Wheatsheaf boys and has just five weeks to turn the worst rugby league team in the North into a championship winning side. Enlisting the help of Hazel, a fitness instructor who runs her own gym, he's in no doubt that they can take on the might of 'The Cobblers Arms' upon the battlefield of amateur rugby league. Can he tempt his lads away from pie, chips and beer and into training? So it's 'beers in' and 'balls out' as we take you to the heart of rugby league mayhemÂ…
Amid the battle field
Dedicated to the Rugby League fans of Hull and created for Hull Truck Theatre Company this comedy was premiered at the Edinburgh Festival in 1984 where it won a Fringe First Award and subsequently the 1984 Laurence Olivier award for Comedy of the Year after a hugely successful run at the Donmar Warehouse.
