Winston Churchill, the war-time leader of Great Britain, once exclaimed that to look a dog in the eyes was to see it acknowledge it saw its master, a cat would see its slave but to look a pig in the eyes, well the pig sees its equal…for Betty Blue Eyes, it’s doubtful you will ever see anything to equal this well written and superbly performed play again.

British Musical Based On Alan Bennett Favourite, Betty Blue Eyes, Gets Regional Première At The Playhouse.

This summer a 21-strong cast will take to the Playhouse stage for the regional première production of Betty Blue Eyes. The George Stiles and Anthony Drewe musical based on the Alan Bennett film A Private Function played to critical acclaim in the West End in 2011, picking up an Olivier Award nomination for Best New Musical. This updated production marries Alan Bennett’s hilarious story with a wonderfully witty musical score and is at the Playhouse from 9th July to 2nd August.
