A series of five subtly interlinked character monologues telling the tales of five unfortunates and their battles with the twenty first century's monochromatic take on right and wrong.

A one hour and twenty five minute show with no interval. No set, no costumes and only minimal lights.

when we presented the show at the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe. 'allaboutthefestivals.com' called it 'a darkly atmospheric work of theatre'.

'comical, poignant and shocking', said The Hemel Gazette.

'an interesting and unique piece of theatre', said MyWatford.

'terrificly structured monologues' The Scotsman, August 09.

RRRANTS presents a new direction for Paul Eccentric's 2009 Edinburgh Fringe bleak comedy.

'THE SORRY PEOPLE', written and originally directed by Paul as a series of dramatised monologues with a cast of three, has been reimagined as a dramatic reading by producer turned director Donna Daniels-Moss. Adapted from Paul's original 2002 radio scripts, the show wasl  performed for the first time in this new incarnation at 4.30pm on the 8th of August in The Kissing Lounge of The Camden Eye, London NW1 as part of The 2010 London Fringe and the RRRANTS ranting festival, read by Paul himself with support from Jammie Sammy.

The Scotsman said: 'Terrific monologues!' and the audience said:

'dark and disturbing'

'well observed characterisation'

'thought provoking and captivating'

'a fascinating insight into the human psyche

The Sorry people

'

The Sorry People Is bleak comedy that tells the stories of the people that live within the cracks of modern society.

We are told that we are living in a monochrome world: a world of moral absolutes; of good and bad, right and wrong, highground and lowground, of black and white.

 But the human mind is a far more complex machine than they would have us believe, capable of defining its own logic from the individual experiences that it is exposed to; capable of writing its own middleground; of carving out its own niche among the various shades of grey.

What's right for one person is not necessarily right for the next as this exploration into the human condition highlights.

"The Sorry People", a theatre show produced by RRRANTS at the Ovo Theatre in St Albans 26th January 2011.

Written by and starring Paul Eccentric, with Samantha Sweetland.

This is an excellent one-hour show with Paul Eccentric playing a variety of different characters, all of them uniquely perverse and self-serving. From a prostitute to a serial killer and finally an ageing voyeur, Paul has an interesting way of performing whereby he reads the words off a stand but nevertheless he is very animated and his acting is given alot of intense physicality and great comic timing.

 His narrator, Samantha Sweetland, sight-reads her words and her musical warm-up at the start of the show is a great way to put the audience in the mood.

 Deliciously disturbing, this comes highly recommended.

At theatre silence. People hold their breath and catch each word... He reads a monologue... Then another... Heroes of its stories amazingly different. The different lives, the different situations, different emotions. You as though eat these experiences by these gestures. I am from Russia, sometimes its very difficult for me to understand people in real life in london. But in this theater i feel thirsty about every next word.

Monologue to a monologue is so truthful that he was seemed to me the obvious witness of each episode of the product. I wish all of you to try to see these minutes excitements, easy satire and mad humanity

The Sorry People was previously performed at

The Edinburgh Fringe 2009 and will be returning in 2011

We recently debuted a revamped version at The London Fringe. Fringe Report said of this show: 'the script uses humour to provoke thought, internal moral debate and to dampen the impact of the horror'.
