Introduction
Based on the classic 1940s radio serial this is a truly hilarious send-up of all things frightfully British, gung-ho jolly hockey sticks and putting Johnny Foreigner well and truly in his place.
A ruthless Latin 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 their boudoirs and jewellery boxes. But have no fear, square-jawed British hero Barton and his team are on hand to save the day.
This is a play with songs but is definitely not a musical so as long as you can hold a tune and fancy a right royal giggle come along and audition.
