The Famous Four & A Half Go Wild in Thetford Forest

Wed 4 Dec 2019 - Sat 4 Jan 2020
  • Age Guidance:9+
  • Duration:2hrs 30mins including an interval

Eastern Angles bring a new musical comedy spoof to you this festive season…

On their hols, Rupert, Nick, Fran, Alex and Dimmy the dog, do battle with a shady figure who has stolen their Aunt’s time machine.

A crazy chase visits a future Thetford by the Sea, some hipster Neolithics at their local derby, and a certain Home Guard rehearsal.

Once again our annual “alternative to panto” hits the wacky heights and spoofs the kids whose adventures we all learnt to read by.

The Famous Four & A Half Go Wild in Thetford Forest tours to Sir John Mills Theatre in Ipswich, Seckford Theatre in Woodbridge & Key Theatre in Peterborough from 4th December 2019 – 25th January 2020.


Press & Audience Reaction

'This cast of 5 actors showed the meaning of team-work, displaying a talent for acting; singing(some superb harmonies); dancing and musicianship. There was even a mix of panto silliness with the audience thrown in. The energy displayed by all makes me wonder how they'll survive a month long run, but grab a ticket for a night of fun. You won't regret it!'
