Now this is superb subject matter for a play, and it’s surprising no one has thought of it already.
Stand Laurel: Please Stand Up! is currently touring and stars Bob Kingdom - tonight it is on at Tewkesbury’s Roses Theatre.

Described as “funny and touching” the play explores Stan Jeefferson’s transformation into Stan Laurel, as well as covering boat rides with Charlie Chaplin and getting eight marriages to four women. Laurel’s daughter Lois Laurel-Hawes has also been involved in the play, while Kingdom’s previous shows have included performances as Dylan Thomas in Dylan Thomas: Return Journey and Truman Capote in The Truman Capote Talk Show.

Playing tonight - July 10th - tickets vost £11.50, £10.50 for concessions and £6.50 for students and children under 16.

Call Rose Theatre box office on (01684) 295074 for more information.
