Archives - Dead Funny

by Terry Johnson

Directed by Stephen Thompson

Friday 20th – Saturday 28th September 2002 in the Auditorium

The death of Benny Hill provides the impetus for this comedy about impotence, sex therapy and the English sense of humour. Eleanor wants what Richard won’t give her. Richard wants to be left in peace. Benny would rather rest in peace, but for tonight, at least, his fans won’t let him.

A shatteringly good play, as hilarious as it is heartbreaking.
