Show Type

Stop Messing About is a Comedy

Show Overview

This is a hilarious and nostalgic look back to a time when comedy was about bedroom humour and innuendo. You won’t get swearing and crudity when you come to see ‘Stop Messing About’. Instead, a warming, funny and delightful production that takes you back in time.

‘Stop Messing About’ is set during a live BBC recording with the biggest icon of the ‘Carry On’ movies, Kenneth Williams. In the hugely funny recording, ‘Kenneth’ is reunited with Joan Sims and Huge Paddick and a succession of side splitting sketches and songs cannot fail to ignite a passion for a simpler times. Written by Brian Cooke and Johnnie Mortimer who were responsible for such TV greats as ‘Man About The House’ Father, Dear Father’, ‘George and Mildred’ and ‘Robin’s Nest’.

‘Stop Messing About’ was a huge hit for radio in the 60′s and this production really captures the fun and innocence of the time.

STOP MESSING ABOUT TICKETS – LIVE AVAILABILITY

The Finborough Theatre in Earls Court continues to delight audience and critics alike. Its current production, which runs until the 11th of April, is the UK premiere of ‘Trying’ by Joanna McClelland Glass. Michael Craig stars and both he and the play have received wonderful reviews.

In contrast the next production is a new adaptation of a classic fable by Arthur Wing Pinero. Phil Willmott has not only adapted ‘The Enchanted Cottage’ into ‘Country Music’ but also directs it. Phil is a very busy director whose productions at the Finborough are an annual event. His production last year, ‘F**king Men’ is still running at the Kings Head. Other previous productions have included Gorky’s ‘The Lower Depths’ and a magnificent revival of John Galsworthy’s ‘Loyalties’. He also directs productions each year at The Scoop, the open air space by the Thames, which stages free productions each summer.

The cast will include Nichola Wright, Lachlan Nieboer, Moir Leslie, Jamie Hinde, Victoria Gee, Sarah Feathers, Paul Critoph, Andrew Boxer and Daniel Abelson.

Another forthcoming production at the Finborough is ’The Killing of Mr Toad’ written and directed by David Gooderson.

The Finborough only holds an audience of fifty and yet it manages to stage some of the best shows in London. It is worth getting your theatre tickets early.

There is news of two shows which are transferring to the West End.
First of all, the Almeida Theatre’s production of the Tom Kempinski play ‘Duet for One’ is to transfer to the Vaudeville. It officially opens on May 12th with previews from 7th May and will run for 12 weeks.

Meanwhile, it undertakes a short tour to Bath, Windsor and Richmond. It stars Juliet Stevenson and Henry Goodman and is directed by Matthew Lloyd.

The play tells the story of Stephanie Abrahams who is a brilliant concert violinist who has to consider life without music after tragedy strikes. The story is told through her meetings with Dr Feldmann, a psychiatrist.

Gene David Kirk’s appointment as Artistic Director of the Jermyn Street Theatre already seems to be paying dividends. The production there of Stephen Sondheim’s first musical ‘Saturday Night’ is to transfer to the Arts Theatre where it will run from 25th March to 11th April.

It is produced by the excellent Primavera whose previous successes include shows at the Finborough Theatre. The show is directed by the founder of Primavera, Tom Littler.

Both shows sold out their original runs so you would be wise to check your diary and book your theatre tickets now.

People are already busy deciding what theatre tickets need to be bought for the summer. Perhaps the most obvious place to go is still Edinburgh, although if you are a theatre goer you may find it harder and harder to find a programme of excellent shows. This is because of the way that comedy is dominating more and more at the fringe festival. Many will stick with a London show or two. The West End is showing a fantastic variety of shows. There is also the South Bank running from Embankment to London Bridge.

A few steps from the river is the Old Vic, going from strength to strength under the artistic direction of Kevin Spacey. Just down the road is the Young Vic and even a great fringe venue in the shape of the Union Theatre which not only puts some great shows on under Sasha Regan, but also sells great coffee and bacon rolls to the workers of Southwark.

Back to the river and the National Theatre is three theatres in one and then there are the joys of open air theatre thanks to Shakespeare’s Globe and The Scoop which has free shows on the opposite side of the river.
