A fast-paced, capering production
The Guardian
"I'm not acting crazy. I'm the genuine article."
Fresh from its premiere at the prestigious Watermill Theatre, this brand new play from Ian Hislop and Nick Newman comes to a stage near you this year. Exploring the story of one of our most unique comedians, SPIKE finds the titular Mr Milligan at the very height of Goon mania when the irreverent comedy show rules the airwaves. While Harry Seacombe and Peter Sellers are more interested in their newfound fame, Spike is busy trying to re-create the very foundations of comedy. But will this obsession pay off? Or will it spell doom for the Goons?
With Olivier winner John Dagleish as Spike and the voice of Stephen Fry as the BBC announcer, this very funny new play offers an insight into the comedy pioneer, from his great heights to his infamous nadirs. Note this one down in your diaries!
