Written and Performed by Nicola Keen & Malcolm McKee
In this hilarious musical revue, Nicola transports us back to Britain in the 1940s and 50s with her recreation of national treasure, Joyce Grenfell. This wonderfully funny show features the best of Joyce’s comedy songs and monologues – from 'Stately as a Galleon' to 'School Nativity Play'. Add to the mix comic numbers by Flanders & Swann and Noël Coward and you have all the ingredients for a delicious teatime encounter with one of Britain’s best-loved comediennes.
Nicola Keen’s West End appearances include the original cast of Phantom of the Opera, Guys and Dolls with Ewan McGregor, and the National Theatre’s Oklahoma! with Hugh Jackman. Work as choreographer includes Eric and Little Ern (Vaudeville, Olivier Award Nomination for Best Entertainment) and the recent West End hit comedy Inside No 9 (Wyndhams).
Malcolm McKee is well known to Radio 4 audiences as Graham Ryder in TheArchers. As a composer, his West End shows include Travels with My Aunt (Menier Chocolate Factory), TheShakespeare Revue (RSC & Off-Broadway), The Madness of George III (Apollo), and When We Are Married (Garrick, Olivier Award Nomination for Best Revival).
