When The Play What I Wrote opened in London’s West End, originally directed by Kenneth Branagh, it was an instand hit. The Sunday Times called it “a triumph” and The Observer said “audiences weep with laughter”. 

‘Thom’ has written a play, an epic set in the French Revolution called ‘A Tight Squeeze for the Scarlet Pimple’. ‘Dennis’, on the other hand, wants to continue with their double act. He believes that if they perform a tribute to Morecambe and Wise, Thom’s confidence will be restored and the double act will go on. But first Dennis needs to persuade a guest star to appear in the play what Thom wrote…

With a mystery guest star at every performance, The Play What I Wrote is once again proving a massive hit with audiences and critics alike. Sir Ian McKellen, Sting, Ewan McGregor, Daniel Radcliffe, Kylie Minogue, Ralph Fiennes, Joanna Lumley, Nigel Havers, Jerry Hall and Dawn French previously took part in the play at mystery guests.
