After gaining six five-star reviews at Brighton Fringe in 2013 with their first show, this new play garnered six of its own in 2014 has been frequently lauded as the most accurate, moving and affectionate piece ever written about the world’s best-loved comedy duo of all time. Time and again it has had audiences howling with laughter at live and filmed recreations of their most famous routines before reducing grown men to tears at the inevitable conclusion.
This is a highly-regarded and popular play about the lives of Arthur Stanley Jefferson (Stan) and Norvell Hardy (Ollie). The show will guide you through their early lives, rise to international stardom, decline of their movie careers and their phoenix-like revival on the stages of Europe.
