• Other Information: Based on the popular 1940s BBC serial, Dick Barton — Special Agent revives this much loved character in an entirely new adventure for the stage. When a plot is uncovered that threatens to poison the entire British tea supply, there is only one man who can save the day: that clean-cut, patriotic, and all-round stand up British gentleman Dick Barton! He soon finds himself wrapped up in an adventure soaked with intrigue and mystery, as he faces off against arch enemies Marta Heartburn and Baron Scarheart, yet all the while finding the time to sing a few songs along the way. Phil Willmott has rejuvenated the iconic detective in an exciting version that is as much stiff upper lip as it is tongue in cheek, crafting a unique marriage between homage and spoof that will have the audience as much on the edge of their seats, as it will have them rolling in the aisles.
