Staffordshire Arts

The man who could make you laugh just by walking on to stage comes vividly to life in Staffordshire in a confrontational new play.

Playing at:

Lichfield Garrick Theatre on Tuesday 4 Jun 2013

Stoke-on-Trent Regent Theatre on Wednesday 19 June 2013

Las Vegas,1954. In a small hotel room the up-and-coming Tommy Cooper faces the prospect of his first big failure. With the show closing and a warring relationship with his manager, Tommy finds an offer on the table and a drink in his hand.

Powerful, provocative, painfully funny and true, Tom Green’s astonishing play finds both the brilliance in Britain’s most famous comic and explores the pressures and loneliness of fame. The man who could make you laugh just by walking on to stage comes vividly alive in this confrontational new play.

Being Tommy Cooper stars Damian Williams as Tommy Cooper.
