Chris Martin Lied To Us

Will Spence's comic conspiracy-thriller (about Coldplay). #ItWasNotAllYellow

Chris Martin lied to us. He said it was all yellow. But that isn’t true!

Will has rewritten Coldplay's breakout hit song Yellow eight times, to more accurately represent the entire visible spectrum of light. Now he's become embroiled in a conspiracy of missing impersonators and something ominous is coming for him.

In this debut comedy hour, Will Spence (A Night of Drama, Poltergeist Theatre) takes you on a hyperactive trip into the rainbow, using PowerPoint and a karaoke track. Suitable for Coldplay lovers, Coldplay haters and everyone ambivalently in-between.
