Synopsis: In its time Dick Barton: Special Agent made radio history. It began as a weekday 15-minute serial on the BBC Light Programme in 1947, depicting the adventures of the prototype action hero and his two trusty sidekicks, Snowy and Jock. It appealed to young and old alike, always ended with a clifthanger situation, and a feature of the programme was the announcer who endeavoured to whip up audience interest. It ran until 1951 when the same scriptwriters were commissioned to write The Archers which replaced the serial as a sort of farming Dick Barton. On radio Dick Barton was always played tongue in cheek. For the stage, author Phil Willmott has taken this to the n-th degree and sent it up rotten. This presents the audience with every possible opportunity of indulging in nostalgia because, like the radio serial, everybody hams like mad, not least the announcer and his occasional fit of the giggles. The plot is ersatz-007 about arch-villain Baron Scarheart, head of EFIL or Evil Foreigners in London, and his beautiful but treacherous agent Maria Heartburn, who try to rule the UK by poisoning the country's tea. Enter Dick Barton, Snowy and Jock to foil this dastardly plan. The plot takes a back seat because it's the jokes that matter and, with a hero with a name like Dick, the possibilities are endless.

Synopsis: Dick Barton, hero of the BBC's 1940's radio serial is back in this, the third of Phil Wilmott's critically acclaimed and hugely successful series of musical comedies. This show works independetly of its predecessors or as the final part of a hilarous trilogy. A ruthless Latin lover Lothario has set his sights on the women of London. No gal is safe from the swarthy continental's sultry seductions as he cha-cha-chas his wicked way into the boudoirs and jewellery boxes of Belgravia. Thank heavens that square-jawed British hero, Barton, is on hand to save the dignity and diamonds of our dowagers and debutantes - but will the fancy footwork of this foreign fiend defeat him? | ||||

Notes: From Charles Dickens | ||||
Synopsis: Dickens' Christmas classic is given an unusual twist in this new musical version. Scrooge's nephew, a social reformer fired up by the inequalities he has witnessed, narrates the magical story of his uncle's transformation for his family on Christmas Eve, as perhaps Dickens himself might have done. This gives a fresh perspective on an oft-told story, while maintaining the much-loved tradition of the original. The score combines carols with songs created by setting specially written lyrics to favourite tunes by great composers. The musical can be staged either by a small group of actor-musicians, or with a company of over twenty actors, making it perfect for schools and community groups looking for a new angle on a festive favourite. | ||||
