Richard from The Carpenters used to be on top of the world looking down on creation, to the left of (and slightly behind) Karen. Now, he's back at the piano once more in this razor-sharp tragicomedy that takes you on the ultimate ticket to ride. Cos solitaire really is the only game in town! Written and performed by Matthew Floyd Jones, the piano player from Frisky & Mannish. 'Hugely entertaining' (Guardian). 'Such a compelling performer' (ExeuntMagazine.com) 'Seriously talented' **** (Observer). Disclaimer: this affectionate but unsparing parody is not endorsed by the real Richard Carpenter.
