I always have huge respect for actors who take on one-man plays. Unlike ensemble pieces they are unable to bounce off their fellow cast members and can only rely on their own energy and their relationship with the audience. Never before have I seen a one-man show like Fully Committed; playing over 40 characters, Kevin Bishop bounces off his own energy in the most extraordinary way imaginable.

According to WhatsOnStage, the Menier Chocolate Factory will celebrate its 10th anniversary with a brand new production of Fully Committed starring Kevin Bishop. The theatre previously staged the production in 2004.

Fully Committed opens on 10th September (previews from 3rd September) and runs until 15th November 2014. Mark Setlock, who starred in the show ten years ago, will direct the production.
