Sitting In The Cheap Seats

Alan Cox, Richard Wilson & Jenny Galloway Alan Bennett ’s Forty Years On is a curious play. His first outing as playwright (back in 1968) is charmingly eccentric, wonderfully witty and every bit a Bennett play. In fact it comes across as if the History Boys stumbled into a production of ‘Oh What a Lovely War’ and decided to join in the fun.

Here in the Cheap Seats we never used to be big fans of Titanic, but when we saw Danielle Tarento and  Thom Southerland ‘s sublime production last year our minds were totally changed (you can read our rave review  here ). Now we’re thrilled that this glorious production is coming back and will set sail from it’s spiritual home in Southampton! Read on for the full lowdown.

Following the recent success of their highly acclaimed production of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels at The Kings Theatre,  multi award-winning CCADS Theatre return to Hayling’s intimate Station Theatre and Portsmouth’s atmospheric Square Tower with two very different but equally compelling two-person shows – one musical and one play.
