The world premiere of a brilliant new play by award-winning writer and performer Bob Kingdom
Stan Laurel, comedy genius, recluse, mystery and possibly the greatest comedian who ever lived. Where does the performance end and real life begin?
Funny and touching, this new play offers the opportunity to discover the man who was formerly Stan Jefferson, and how and why he became Stan Laurel - comedy genius. With extensive research and assistance from Lois Laurel-Hawes, Stan Laurel's real life daughter, the play will get closer than ever before to discovering the real man who made the world laugh and his relationship with the world when the cameras stopped turning.
Bob Kingdom's legendary and critically acclaimed performances as Dylan Thomas and Truman Capote have delighted audiences at the Georgian in 2007, and around the world including seasons in London and New York.
"In Stan Laurel I knew I’d met a genius” – Jerry Lewis
