ALBERT MAKE US LAUGH - May 2004
About the play
Meet Albert Nuttall – an eleven year old on his first day at Belmont
Fields Secondary Modern School. Some would say he is a little backward
but really he is very special and just a little bit talented - but children
can be so very cruel to each other…
This funny, touching and uplifting story told entirely by adults may
well remind you of your own schooldays – and you’ll not be
sorry that you laughed.
About the Author
Jimmy Chinn was born in Middleton, Manchester and moved to London to
train at RADA in 1959. A short, undistinguished career as an actor resulted
in him training as a teacher of English and Drama and he taught in Middlesex
until 1984 when he took up writing full-time.
Success with radio plays led him to write for the stage
and his first West End production came in 1992 with Straight and Narrow
which starred Nicholas Lyndhurst. Jimmy Chinn has also written for television
including some episodes of Emmerdale.
Albert Make Us Laugh is based upon his childhood experiences
at school in the north of England
