The 3 blokes mentioned are Matthew Clift, Phil Regan and Steve Sprosson and the 4th younger bloke was Ryan Gilks and the local historian was bloke number 5, Chris Scott. ‘Directions’ was the Whole Hog debut and 9 more productions have been and gone with 25 awards accumulated at local and national festivals and now it’s the re-union!
All 5 meet in the same curry house this Friday to catch up, eat, drink and more likely than not take the piss out of each other mercilessly!
Ryan has been working on a cruise ship for 6 months so will no doubt have many stories to tell, Matt and Steve have recently worked on another successful Whole Hog Production together and Phil has been minding his antiques and is gearing himself up for a Whole Hog return next April at the Manx Festival of Plays held on the Isle of Man. Chris will no doubt regale the others with amazing tales of his 3 week holiday in Vietnam and he will probably once again bring up the sequel to ‘Directions’ to mumbling and non committal looks!
Whatever happens a great night is insured and a bit of history in the making. The Original Whole Hog boys are back in town!
