A Rom-Com with shades on. British girls Gillian and Dinah arrive in Montego Bay, Jamaica for a last minute break before winter but a week soon becomes a lifetime, as the local gigolos queue up for the tourists’ affections. But it is beach boys Earl and Dique who manage to win them over. Is Earl a gigolo? Will Dique toughen up and get his girl? What is Gillian’s problem and will the mozzies ever leave off her behind? When will Dinah start thinking about anyone but herself? Can long distance relationships work and can friendships survive the heat of a low budget Mo’Bay hotel room? The answers will “soon come”.
Earl of Mo’Bay was premiered at the Lakeside Arts Centre, Nottingham during Momentum Festival 2006.
