A FUN and playful show is how The Gramophones Theatre Company describes its latest production, Anything to Declare?

It is made up of comical vignettes reflecting upon the holiday experience, as well as opportunities for interaction.

Upon arrival, the audience members will experience various unusual check-in procedures. They will then embark on their journey with their travel companions; a romantic looking for love in the most unlikely places, a survival expert facing her greatest challenge yet and a harassed mother pushed to the edge of her patience.

They all hope to find holiday happiness, as the audience watches their stories unfold in unpredictable and funny ways.

In the telling of these three women's stories, the show explores the reasons why we go on holiday and why we sometimes return in need of another break.

There are plenty of unexpected tangents in the show including the company's very own brand of foot puppetry (faces painted on to the actresses' feet) in which two characters are caught in the "foot" of a romantic disaster.

Quirky music and sound effects underscore the show and are played through the company's very own gramophone.

The fun vintage feel is also carried by the actresses' quirky costumes; old fashioned bathing suits and swimming hats.

The Gramophones are a professional all-female theatre company based in Nottingham. For more information, visit www.gramo phonestheatre.com.
