Uppingham Theatre Company present<br />
BEYOND THE PAIL: A PLOTLESS PLAY OF PUN AND POTTINESS<br />
In the early 1960s Alan Bennett, Peter Cook, Jonathan Miller and Dudley Moore took the theatre world by storm with ‘Beyond The Fringe’. Now,<br />
over half a century later, Uppingham Theatre Company is looking to whip up at least a strong breeze with ‘Beyond The Pail’, a sequel - of sorts.<br />
With quick-fire quips and deadpun humour, this one-act comedy is a feast for all fans of wordplay. “I loved the play” Gyles Brandreth<br />
