Patricia Quinn Saved My Life

“Well, if Jerry Springer can have an opera named after him, I don’t see why I can’t have a play” – Patricia Quinn

PQSML[poster]5065

You’re locked in a cupboard with two women at a Rocky Horror convention. Help! Their fates lie with a Chorus of lip-licking, pelvic-thrusting Patricia Quinns in this glorious, unashamedly silly comedy.

First produced by the 5065 Lift at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, August 2004.

The play subsequently transferred to the Hen and Chickens Theatre, London.

The cast was as follows:

JACKIE, a housewife: Charlotte Palmer
PAULA, a schoolgirl: Sheena Irving
PATRICIA QUINN 1, a domestic: Fiona Paul
PATRICIA QUINN 2, a diva: Felicity Wren
PATRICIA QUINN 3, a bunny-girl: Elicia Daly

Directed by Sam Hoyle
