THE ESTEEMED English actress Alison Skilbeck is bringing her widely-acclaimed one-woman show, Are There More of You? to the Town Hall Theatre for two nights only next week.

In this self-penned comedy-drama, Skilbeck tells the linked tales of four women who are reaching out in the dark and reveals what lies behind the brave faces of Claire, Sophia, Sara and Sam, all of whom reside within the same London post-code, SW11. Painful, scary, and hilarious by turns, the stories chart each wildly different character’s search for love and happiness.
