The Problem with Fletcher Mott
Book, Music and Lyrics by Jack Miles
"Music is most emphatically, the strongest weapon in Mr. Miles’ armoury; there are some terrific songs in this piece" - The Spy in the Stalls
"I was humming all the way back to the tube afterwards... full of energy and good wit" - Everything Theatre
The Problem with Fletcher Mott is a musical comedy that follows playwright Fletcher Mott as he attempts to write a follow-up to his enormously successful debut. His anxiety and self doubt manifests itself as Boo, the ever-present constant critic; a character only present inside Fletcher's mind. As his deadline approaches, Fletcher’s all out of ideas, but realises that sometimes the best inspiration can be found pretty close to home…
A tight three-piece band blaze their way through a contemporary funk/rock score, with hooks bigger than Fletcher’s fear of failure.
Featuring rejection, procrastination, and other relatable themes, The Problem with Fletcher Mott will make you believe that everything will turn out okay. Almost definitely. Probably. Maybe.
