Sorry! Cancelled Big Daddy vs Giant Haystacks - Presented by The Foundry Group
Date: Saturday 26th May 2012
Time: 19:30
Sorry! This event has been Cancelled
At 4pm every Saturday, from 1976 to 1988, tens of millions of Britons, and countless more world-wide, were in the grip of an extraordinary sports phenomenon: watching two fat men (a.k.a. Shirley Crabtree and Martin Ruane) pretend to fight each other.
This is their story.
This new play, by the award-winning writers of New Perspectives' hit Those Magnificent Men, brings back to grunting, grappling life these two well-loved wrestling rivals and the bizarre world they bestrode.
With an “all-star cast of thousands” including Paul McCartney, Chris Tarrant, Frank Sinatra, Princess Margaret, and Greg Dyke, this ambitious, touching, hilarious two-hander conjures up a whole nation during its most colourful era.
Featuring Latest-7-Award and Herald-Angel winner Ross Gurney-Randall (Follow Me and Goerring's Defence – Guy Masterson Productions) and Radio 4's Count Arthur Strong's Radio Show regular David Mounfield.
You shall be moved.
“As funny as we’ve come to expect from Mitchell and Nixon, but it’s never just funny: they have a deep sympathy for the people they write about .*****” – Philip Reeve, The Solitary Bee
