Preview by Paul Nelson
A SOLO performer with a difference is Sandra Bee, and she will be presenting
her new evening's entertainment, A Night to Remember at Oval House.
Sandra and Sharleen were childhood friends but their lives have taken different
paths. Sandra Bee is a superstar, but Sharleen's life has been a spiral of
disaster and it's all been Ms Bee's fault. Ms Bee is gonna pay bigtime!
Ten new characters, including Miss Zazoo, Villain, Baby Monster and aging
lover man Mr Tearup, join old favourites Auntie Gertrude and Tina Turner on
a whirlwind journey through fame and revenge told through song, dance and
comedy-drama.
Sandra Bee is rapidly establishing herself as one of the most popular and
exciting performers of her generation, in both the comedy and drama. She has
already attracted huge attention and a wide fan base for her portrayal of
Petronella, the dancehall queen who took the first series of BBC2's hit drama
series Brothers and Sisters by storm.
A mark of Sandra's dramatic and emotive acting ability came about in top dramas
in Casualty, The Bill, Murder of Stephen Lawrence, In Defence and The
Knock.
Sandra's versatility came to the fore when she created the character of
feisty teenager Shaniqua for a striking to-camera monologue piece in Still
Here, a series for the BBC.
On a lighter note, Sandra made good use of the chance to display a whole range
of comic characters, ranging from sophisticated to streetwise, when she starred
in the fast moving sketch show, Waiting To Inhale, which ran for two
sell-out seasons at The Theatre Royal Stratford East before going on a highly
successful tour.
The dual roles of princess and Sorceress in New Peckham Variety Theatre's
Snow Queen demonstrated both her commitment to supporting community
theatre and also her rapport with young audiences while, in addition to her
TV popularity, Sandra has also built a sizeable following on the comedy circuit.
Sandra has recently appeared in the award winning BBC2 drama, Baby Father.
