Description

A sharp and hilarious biographical play based on the life of Carry On star Sid James

Carrying on in the great tradition of British comedy, Terry Johnson's new play takes some familiar faces and gets a bit familiar with them.

"Terry Johnson is that rare creature: a moralist with wit. He writes with responsible gaiety" (Guardian)
