ALFIE by Bill Naughton
Blackeyed Theatre in association with South Hill Park Arts
Centre.
Made famous by movies starring Michael Caine and more recently
Jude Law, Alfie is the brilliant, original stage play about
a young man with an overwhelming desire for the ladies.
You might say that ‘birds’ are irresistible
to him, sort of second nature. There's Ruby - ‘A lust
box in beautiful condition’; Clare - ‘You're
all lathered in sweat, Alfie’; and Siddie, and Clara,
and Annie - but who's counting? Certainly not Alfie. Three
in one evening if necessary. And necessary is the right
word! Alfie combines great comedy and genuine pathos, as
well as live 60s music, as it tells the story of a cockney
‘Don Juan’ who swaggers and philosophises his
way from conquest to conquest, carefully rejecting anyone
or anything that might touch him too deeply.
“Alfie remains the randiest and most shameless Casanova
south of the river”
The Sunday Times

RUBY WAX – LOSING IT?
Starring Ruby Wax and Judith Owen
Ruby Wax and acclaimed musician Judith Owen combine their
talents in a new show for one night only, prior to the West
End. Ruby had it all – career, dream house, husband,
kids - but people soon realised something was wrong when
she painted her house the same colour ‘beige’
for the 47th time. There was only one thing for it –
send her to the Priory! Told with wit, humour and a
lot of heart this is Ruby at her belting best – when
she’s losing it! Ruby and Judith will also take questions
from the audience.
“Ruby Wax is on razor sharp form. I laughed and I
cried” Sunday Express
A contribution of all ticket sales will be donated to Comic
Relief.

of schools” this best selling author, Radio and TV
personality is not to be missed! One of Britain’s

eye for the ludicrous, Gervase Phinn has delighted audiences

a series of jokes”. - The Times
