An Audience with Henry Blofeld

Widely respected as the voice of Test Match Special ‘Blowers’, Henry Blofeld brings his wit and wisdom to the stage once again. Henry’s keen to stress though that it’s not all cricket, in fact most of it isn’t and that every show is different. So, even if you’ve been before you can be sure that it’ll never be the same twice.


“People gather round afterwards in the foyer and say, ‘We had no idea it was like this. We thought it was a cricket show.’ But it’s not. And if you think you’re going to learn how to play a forward defensive, you’ll be sadly disappointed.”

 

Instead, the talk is based, in the loosest sense, on Henry’s life story, although there’s time for as many after-dinner anecdotes and meandering digressions as there is in a Test Match Special rain break.


The show itself is very tongue-in-cheek and Henry spends a lot of time poking fun at himself and subjects veer from intergalactic travel, to horticulture to mountaineering. Audiences are always sure of an evening of great tales from this quintessential Englishman.


Presented in association with Clive Conway Productions.

The Terrible Infants

THE TERRIBLE INFANTS School Edition

Written by OLIVER LANSLEY on behalf of LES ENFANTS TERRIBLES


A series of cautionary tales for big kids and small adults. Perhaps best described as Tim Burton meets Roald Dahl, this storytelling piece introduces Tumb who is so greedy he eats his Mum, Linena, the original material girl, Mingus who doesn’t like to wash and Thingummy Boy who is so forgettable that no one can ever remember his name. We also meet Bea who could talk the hind leg off a donkey and Tilly who tells terrible, terrible tales until her tales take on a life of their own and become a giant, terrible tail!  


Our young cast have tackled the complex, alliterative and lyrical language with aplomb and gusto and we look forward to inviting you into their fantastical, wonderful world!


“THE TERRIBLE INFANTS School Edition” is presented by special arrangement with and all authorised performance materials are supplied by Les Enfants Terribles.
