A new comedy from BAFTA Award-winner and author of Rising Damp Eric Chappell

In life, Dave Thursby was a hugely successful television comedian, loved by the public. In death, he leaves his wife, agent and close companions bereft. They are going to miss Dave terribly. Some of them may even be out of work. Unless, of course, the repeats, television specials, biographies and newspaper tell-alls can fill the vacuum. And who is best placed to exploit the legacy?

Crammed with great jokes, Tom Conti leads a fantastic cast of performers, in this hilarious and fast paced comedy from the author of such classic TV Series as Rising Damp, Duty Free, Only When I Laugh and Home to Roost. Eric Chappell's script reflects a lifetime of working with comedians and he understands the ego of comic genius better than most – exposed hilariously in Wife After Death.

Bradley Walsh has established himself as one of Britain's most versatile and popular entertainers. Arguably best known for playing Danny Baldwin in Coronation Street, for which he was won Best Dramatic Performance in the British Soap Awards, Bradley also won acclaim for his part in Law & Order UK and has also found time to host a number of TV quiz shows. For this fantastic show Bradley will be cutting loose with his own brand of stand-up comedy in which he will be casting a gaze on the ordinary and making it hilarious. Get your tickets early for an evening of laughter and fun you'll long remember.

Take one huge hit sitcom from BBC TV. Place on a stage in a World Premiere national tour starring Andrew Dunn (Tony) and Sue Devaney (Jane) from the cast of the TV series

Blend in Victoria Wood’s writing, undoubtedly some of the funniest on television, and whip into a play based on the second TV series, following the reluctant love story of Bren and Tony, egged on by Dolly, Jean, Twinkle and Anita.

Mix in caretaker Stan’s words of wisdom and coat with regular appearances by Phillippa from Human Resources and Petula, Bren’s dreadful mother, and you have a recipe for madness, mirth and twelve rounds of toast!

Spike Milligan’s celebrated war memoirs take to the road once more in this gloriously absurd and exuberant hit comedy which has had both audiences and critics in stitches.

High comedy and tragedy collide, as we follow Gunner Milligan and his jazz quartet, adrift on the tide of great historic events. Using Spike’s own words, the show joyously fuses comedy, song and dance – showing how humour, music and comradeship enabled a hapless bunch of young men to prevail against the might of the Nazi War machine.

Songs include the jazz greats Chattanooga Choo Choo, Ain’t Misbehavin’, In the Mood, Honeysuckle Rose, Kalamazoo and many more.

Warning: contains barrack room humour.

Noel Coward's classic comedy.

Directed by Belinda Lang
Designed by Matthew Wright

Cast: Robert Bathhurst, Belinda Lang, Serena Evans, Emma Davies and Virginia Stride

Set in the glamourous world of theatre, Present Laughter is a gloriously witty portrait of the life that whirled round Noel Coward in his heyday, sparkling from start to finish with cut-glass humour and spectacular repartee.
 
In this sumptuous new production, Robert Bathhurst stars as the successful and self-obsessed actor, Garry Essendine.

Flamboyant, vain and devastatingly handsome, Essendine is about to set off on tour but when he is visited in by ex-wives, lawyers, playwrights and one-night stands amongst others, the stage is set for a battle of glittering egos!

Robert Bathurst is well known to television and theatre audiences with credits including Cold Feet, Hornblower and My Dad’s the Prime Minister.  Belinda Lang, a Coward connoisseur, both directs and plays his long-suffering secretary Monica. They are joined by two stalwarts of British acting, Serena Evans plays his estranged wife Liz and Virginia Stride is Essendine’s housekeeper Miss Erikson.

Razor-sharp wit, dazzlingly funny dialogue, captivating characters and fabulous sets & costumes, this deliciously wicked confection will delight all lovers of great comedy.
