Hoy Polloy and Triple R present the world premiere of

The Real Thring
written by Barry Dickins
directed by Wayne Pearn

Overview
• The Real Thring searches and discovers Frank Thring's soul and spirit and resurrects his endless erection.
• To be shocking was the only thing that didn't bore Thring.
• He was and is an ignored gay icon until this tribute to his inimitable panache.
• He was outrageous in death as well as life.
• He remains the most famous actor, the most feared drunkard, the most missed enigma.
• He was fun and a ham and a genius.
• He was everywhere in the fifties, sixties, seventies and eighties.
• He delighted in shocking audiences and drank as though there were no tomorrows.
• In the The Real Thring you shall see that Thring is beautiful and confused, just as the sun is or the moon is, from time to time.
• This a play of faith for all who truly love those who have buoyed us.
