This epic Everyman's odyssey through World War Two, with a cast of extraordinary characters, charts Gunner Milligan's progress from joining the Royal Artillery through the North African and Italian campaigns. And with Spike's sense of lunacy, anything can happen along the way! High comedy and tragedy collide, as we follow him and his ad hoc jazz quartet - complete with their famed comedy routines - adrift on the tide of great historic events. Using Milligan's own words, the story is told through a joyous fusion of comedy, jazz, song and dance - showing how humour, music and comradeship enabled a hapless and disparate bunch of young men to prevail against the might of the Nazi War Machine. Caution: Contains barrack room humour!| 18 May 10 to 22 May 10 | New Theatre Cardiff, Glamorgan Performance Details => Venue archive |
