Dandy Dick | Opera House Manchester | Monday, August 27 - Friday, August 31
A brand-new production of a hilarious 19th Century ’rarely seen treasure’ – Dandy Dick - starring Patricia Hodge and Nicholas Le Provost is under starter’s orders at the Opera House Manchester.
Earlier this year artistic director, Christopher Luscombe and Howard Panter of Ambassador Theatre Group announced that the inaugural season of Theatre Royal Brighton Productions would launch with the Arthur Wing Pinero comedy Dandy Dick opening at the Theatre Royal Brighton on July 3.
Starring Patricia Hodge and Nicholas Le Prevost, Dandy Dick is directed by Christopher Luscombe and is the first of many planned classic plays to tour the country’s best playhouses nationwide before the West End.
Written in Brighton in 1887, Dandy Dick tells the hilarious story of the Very Reverend Augustin Jedd, a pillar of Victorian respectability, who preaches regularly against the evils of horseracing and gambling. However, a visit from his tearaway sister Georgiana, leads him to risk all at the races, much against his better judgement. Mayhem ensues, with romantic intrigue, mistaken identity and a runaway horse.
