Laurel and Hardy \u2013 a legend in their own time.\u00a0 This one act play celebrates their lives and careers on and off screen.\u00a0 Re-telling their story from humble beginnings to global success, through snapshots of their songs and sketches.<\/p>\n

Review by Sharon Walker<\/p>\n

This play, in complete contrast to the first, was a biographical journey of the lives and careers of the well loved comic double act\u00a0Stan Laurel<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Oliver (Babe) Hardy<\/strong><\/em>. The play saw the 2 actors (David Shaw and Wayne Kelsall) take on the challenging task of bringing the iconic duo to life as well as playing all the other characters they interacted with throughout the play.
\nThis included not only their managers and film studio bosses but their wives and girlfriends as well – demonstrating how versatile the 2 actors are. The play included scenes and dances from many of their famous films including \u2018Way Out West\u2019 and \u2018Me and My Pal\u2019 with the finale being the iconic dance to \u2018At the ball, that\u2019s all\u2019.<\/p>\n

The acting really brought the characters to life for the audience who joined in with the renditions of \u2018Daisy, Daisy\u2019 and \u2018The Trail of the Lonesome Pine\u2019. Sue thought that the performances looked effortless and that the play had been very cleverly directed. Well Done.<\/p>\n
