The early struggles, the glory years, the slow decline. Stan and Ollie are re-born for the stage in an affectionate, fascinating and very, very funny play.
In this fly-on -the-wall look at the real people beneath the bowler hats, 'The Boys' tell their own life stories from beyond the grave. The darker side of the movie business is here; but so too is their warm and complex relationship and their timeless comedy. Some of their greatest slapstick routines are brilliantly re-created live in a play all comedy fans will relish.
"Warm heartedand charming." The Times
"This show is a real tribute to the most successful and prolific comedy team in history. You'll be in a fine mess if you miss it!" British Theatre Guide
