Dick Barton Episode V : The Excess of Evil
Bok av Duncan Wisbey
Judging by Tony Blair's remarks about the beleagured state of the nation, Britain is in urgent need of a hero. Step forward Special Agent Dick Barton, the square-jawed, stiff-upper-lipped radio adventurer and radio star in these musical spoofs at the expense of jingoism, snobbery and the BBC' (The Times, Jan 03) Now Dick, famed for his stoicism, wicket-keeping skills and the way he handled the men under him during the War, is asked to do for Blighty something that is against everything he believes. Not to commit murder or to swear at a lady. Worse. Something that puts his life and those of his trusty side-kicks, Jock and Snowy, in peril like never before! Tune into Episode V as we introduce you to an Old Love, a New Femme Fatale and a New Villain - or is he? The Excess of Evil opens at the Warehouse Theatre, Croydon on 12th December 2003.
