Gardner & Wife's Past Productions



	After an explosive season in London’s West End, our first science comedy, DR BUNHEAD’S RECIPES FOR DISASTER, blasted into KL for a dynamite two-week run at The Actors Studio @ Bangsar Shopping Centre. Presented by Malaysia Airlines and supported by Malaysia Oxygen, the “resident scientist” of Sky TV’s “Brainiac” television programme, Tom Pringle aka Dr Bunhead, delighted both children and adults alike with his unusual combination of science trivia and stage comedy. He also re-created his Guinness World Record-winning stunt of making the fastest potato chips in town!
	Gardner & Wife's first show from New Zealand was also their first show to extend its run! Coming directly from a sell-out season at the New Zealand International Comedy Festival, "Those Indian Guys" - Tarun Mohanbhai and Rajeev Varma - performed D'ARRANGED MARRIAGE to packed houses for one week, followed by two weeks of its prequel, FROM INDIA WITH LOVE. Presented by Malaysia Airlines, both shows performed at The Actors Studio @ Bangsar Shopping Centre and were co-produced with the New Zealand High Commission.
	Gardner & Wife's third West End show, ALONE IT STANDS, marked another co-production with the Embassy of Ireland. Presented by Malaysia Airlines, this rugby comedy received a standing ovation at the Irish Ambassador’s Gala and a very enthusiastic response during the two weeks it performed at The Actors Studio @ Bangsar Shopping Centre. As well as directing the play, award-winning writer-director John Breen also conducted a Q&A for a school audience in the first week.
	LITTLE VIOLET AND THE ANGEL premiered its first three performances as charity fundraisers for Calvary Life Ministries. With original music and lyrics composed by Patrick Jonathan and three Romanian-made puppets courtesy of London’s Theatre Centre, this local-cast production played for more than three weeks over the X’mas season at The Actors Studio @ Bangsar Shopping Centre.
	Coming directly from their third sell-out season at the 2004 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, PLUCK performed "Musical Arson" for two weeks to packed houses at The Actors Studio @ Bangsar Shopping Centre. Presented by Malaysia Airlines, this winner of the prestigious Tap Water Award at the 2003 Edinburgh Fringe Festival premiered as a charity performance for the National Cancer Society of Malaysia with the British High Commissioner as guest-of-honour.
	MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL marked the second co-production with The Embassy of the United States of America. Presented by Malaysia Airlines and endorsed by the Ministry of Women, Family & Community Development, the show raised over RM400K for the Tunku Nurul Hayati Foundation at the royal charity premiere graced by the Yang DiPertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, HRH Tuanku Ja’afar and his consort, HRH Tunku Najihah. The U.S. cast went on to play to three weeks of full houses at The Actors Studio @ Bangsar Shopping Centre.
	Gardner & Wife's second West End show, STONES IN HIS POCKETS, was co-produced with the Embassy of Ireland to celebrate Ireland's 2004 Presidency of the European Union. Malaysia Airlines flew in both the West End cast and award-winning playwright Marie Jones OBE especially for the Irish Ambassador's Gala at the J.W. Marriott Hotel. Actors Sean Sloan and Kieran Lagan received a standing ovation, and went on to a week of full houses at The Actors Studio @ Bangsar Shopping Centre.
