Spike Milligan’s celebrated war memoirs arrive in Colchester in this gloriously absurd and exuberant hit comedy drama, which has had both audiences and critics in stitches.
“Fond and faithfully barmy” Sunday Times ****
High comedy and tragedy collide, as we follow Gunner Milligan and his jazz quartet, adrift on the tide of great historic events, discovering how humour, music and comradeship enabled a hapless bunch of young men to prevail against the might of the Nazi War machine.
“Entertainingly offbeat … warm hearted!” Daily Telegraph *****
Songs include jazz greats - Chattanooga Choo Choo, Ain’t Misbehavin’, In the Mood, Honeysuckle Rose, Kalamazoo and many more.
Contains stong language.
