The Leaks are a very ugly, unpleasant British family living out a low existence in a backwards Manchester cottage. In between swearing at each other, drinking horrendous amounts of alcohol and cheating on their welfare payments by pretending that a life-sized dummy is their invalid grandfather, there isn't too much to celebrate - that is, before Gary Leak attempts to create a swimming pool in his basement and accidentally unearths a priceless and possibly extraterrestrial metal compound.

Suddenly, the Leaks are the focus of a worldwide media circus, and their priceless treasure is being hunted by several interested parties. Some are good, some are evil, and most of them are utterly insane.

Tension mounts as desperation sets in, and the tough questions must be asked: Is Vicky Leak cheating on Hugo with the milkman? Why does Hugo keep calling his daughter "luggage"? And will the Leaks manage to sell the metal for a fortune before its terrible secret is revealed?

James Marzec presents a new UDS play in which the heroes are awful, the villains are familiar, and the only sympathetic character is a lump of rock.

How do I ...

Featured event
LEGentertainment (Australia) auditions for
By Jeeves!

Sir Andrew Lloyd-Webber, and Alan Ayckbourn

Scott-Leonard Landers

By George! By Jove! By Jeeves!

From the classic P.G. Wodehouse stories of the amiably dense Bertie Wooster and his estimable manservant Jeeves,
two of the theater's most celebrated talents have fashioned a jolly chamber
musical chock full of hilarity and invention. Bertie is looking forward to
enlivening a charity benefit at a church hall when his beloved banjo
mysteriously goes missing. Assisted by the unflappable Jeeves, Bertie instead
entertains the audience with an improvised account of how he and two chums -
with, as one song puts it, "a collective I.Q. of around 42" - all got their
names and identities confused in the course of one riotously raucous weekend.
This tale of escalating chaos and labyrinthine high jinx unfolds to the
accompaniment of one of Andrew Lloyd-Webber's most vivacious and sprightly
scores. BY JEEVES cleverly intertwines the twin English passions for amateur
theatrics and bumbling silliness, taking us back to a time when flirty girls
pursued men, not careers, and where good breeding took precedence over
brainpower.
