A BRIEF HISTORY (BEFORE 2000)
Pat Abernethy and Dave Marsden are two actors who have written, produced and performed their own shows for many years, originally based in Ireland, and since the eighties, in London. The main feature of the majority of their work then was that it was comedy based but mostly performed in theatres. If you click on COMEDY you will get a clearer picture of what their professional life looked like then.
Just prior to the millennium the renowned playwright and 'Emmerdale' creator, Kevin Laffan wrote two new plays for Pat and Dave, 'Odd Ball Out' and 'The Husband's Tale' which were highly acclaimed critically.
A BRIEF HISTORY (SINCE 2000)
From this time the duo, who have always performed under the name ISOSCELES, have moved back closer to their straight acting roots, and have worked closely with writer Patrick Prior and actor/director Jim Dunk (collectively known as Useful Idiots); the results have been the following productions:
2000 - Yours Truly, Jack the Ripper
2002 - On Our Way to Lisbon
2002 - The Haunters
2004 - Dracula the Panto
2006 - Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
2008 - The Bonzo
Dog Doo Dah Band Changed My Life Forever
2010 - The Man Who Left The Titanic
In 2005 Pat and
Dave also premiered their own music show 'Songs That Matter'.
In 2009 ISOSCELES produced and performed
'Behind You! by Dave Marsden.
In 2011 Pat and Dave will open their brand new show 'Probably The Best Comedy Songs In The World Ever, Maybe'.
The one thing that has never changed over the years is that every show is a brand new original production, and so far, past and present, there have been over twenty.
