Fag Ends & Families…!

3 Aug 2012 - 26 Aug 2012 (19:00)     
Written and performed by Simon Egerton (Directed by Lawrence Evans)

Songwriter and humorist Simon Egerton shares a journey into Englishness through original songs, stories and the remembered mist of cigarettes...

Funny and sad, this is Jacques Brel meets Alan Bennett.

Fag Ends & Families...! combines Simon's new collection of writings Fag Ends with his song collection Now We are Older. Wry and warm, wonderful melodies and a voice to die for.

Ticket includes a free cocktail – the perfect start to your evening!
