Andy Capp - the Musical.

By Trevor Peacock, Music by Alan Price.

Directed By:  Richard Hughes.

Synopsis:
 This exuberant musical, with a delightful score, conjures up the timeless dream world of work-shy, beer-swilling Andy Capp, known the world over from Reg Smythe's cartoon strip in the Daily Mirror. The story is essentially a narrative setting an upcoming wedding (of Elvis and Raquel) against the ongoing fracas in Andy and Flo's household.  But it  also a faithful evocation of the cartoon, full of mother in law jokes, drunken escapades, big-bosomed, mini skirted women wielding rolling pins and paunchy, cloth capped men stomping around in boots.

TADS won three awards for this play at the GDA awards ceremony... Best Musical, Best Director and Best Play.  (see press cuttings and cast picture below.)
