Details

This colourful farce is set upon a transatlantic liner heading from New York to England with a motley bunch of passengers and crew. Billy, a young New York stock broker, is madly in love with the beautiful heiress Hope Harcourt. Whilst saying goodbye to his boss, the blustery Elisha J Whitney, Billy spies Hope embarking and immediately decides to stow away and win her heart. Hope, however, is due to marry the English aristocrat, the somewhat Woosterish figure, Sir Evelyn Oakleigh (after all, some of the story was written by P.G Wodehouse). Also on board are the sultry nightclub singer evangelist Reno Sweeney who brings a lot of sass to the show and Moonface Martin, a rather unsuccessful gangster on the run with his moll.

Surround these characters with riotous comedy, mistaken identities, love forsaken (and regained) and you are guaranteed a great night. And how could we forget the songs? Add in such classics as You’re The Top, Blow Gabriel Blow, I Get A Kick Out Of You and, the show stopper itself, Anything Goes, and you have an exciting, toe-tapping night of theatre.

Concept Players’ last production City Of Angels was praised as a “clever imaginative production…beautifully sung, with a formidable cast”. Concept’s production values are well known and direction this year comes from the same director that brought you one of our most successful productions, Fiddler On The Roof in 2008.

So all aboard! Come and see how this rollicking farce develops. It is guaranteed to banish all of those winter blues!
