Barking In Essex is a riotously funny new comedy with an all-star cast.
Welcome to the criminal blunder-world!
Freedom finally beckons for lowlife con man Algie Packer. He’s done seven years inside and now he’s coming home to spend his carefully stashed cash - £3.5 million in untraceable notes. But there’s something Algie’s family has forgotten to mention...
Meet the Packers – just your perfectly average, totally dysfunctional, ‘well-dodgy’ Essex crime family with a BIG problem. Are they going to be able to cover their tracks before Algie arrives home? Maybe it’s time to go on the run...
Catch Lee Evans, Sheila Hancock, Keeley Hawes, Karl Johnson and Montserrat Lombard before the police do in the world premiere of this uproariously funny play. This sensational cast make Barking in Essex the MUST-SEE theatre event of 2013.
Clive Exton’s writing credits include the highly-acclaimed film 10 Rillington Place, Poirot and Jeeves and Wooster.
WARNING! This play contains strong language.
STRICTLY LIMITED WEST END RUN
