World premiere > The Real Thring

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.
