Second Act Presents
A Beautiful Friendship
by Phil and Cristina Austinez, directed by Robin Johannsen
Richard is determined to lift his best friend, Charlie, out of his post-divorce slump by secretly signing him up for a dating site. With a wedding just days away, Charlie reluctantly agrees to meet Adèle, a dazzling Frenchwoman, donning his unworn Humphrey Bogart fedora for the occasion. But Richard doesn’t trust him to get it right, so he hangs around — disguised with a hat of his own. What he doesn’t expect is his own date, Calista, arriving early at the wrong bar, with a suspicious interest in Charlie and Adèle. And then there’s the meddling waitress, who wants to get in on the action.
A Beautiful Friendship is a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy for the stage, asking the age-old questions: how do you actually find love? Will love bring happiness? And who's bringing me a Screaming Orgasm?
A Beautiful Friendship is written by Phil and Cristina Austínez. Produced by Second Act, it brings together a stellar cast of south west London's finest actors: Mia Skytte, David Hamilton, Debi Wright plus Phil and Cristina.

OUR HISTORY
The Bread & Roses is an award-winning free house right in the heart of Clapham. Owned by The Battersea and Wandsworth Trade Union Council (BWTUC) and run by the Workers Beer Company, part of BWTUC Trading, it prides itself as a pub with a social consciousness.
The Bread & Roses is named in recognition of the struggle of workers around the globe for a better quality of life. The name is taken from a song written during a strike of women textile workers in Lawrence Massachusetts, USA in 1912. 27.000 women went out onto the streets and marched for eleven weeks to improve their working conditions. Their banners called for bread and roses. A poet among them, James Oppenheim, wrote the lyrics to what became the trademark song for women trade unionists around the world. It is still sung by delegates to conclude the ICTU Women's Conference.
