Adapted by comedy legend John Cleese and directed by Caroline Jay Ranger, this brand-new stage play featuring your favourite scenes from the sitcom’s unforgettable twelve episodes, is a 'hugely entertaining blast of unadorned nostalgia' (The Times) making for an 'indisputably funny evening' (The Telegraph).
Sunderland Empire
Vesta Tilley laid the foundation stone of what is now the Sunderland Empire on 29 September 1906 and took to the stage on 1 July 1907 to officially declare the theatre open. Masterminded by two of the contemporary heads of British theatre, Edward Moss and Oswald Stoll, the Sunderland Empire Theatre has undergone many changes since it opened but remains the North East’s premier entertainment venue.
