Alfie

Made famous by the movies starring Michael Caine and more recently Jude Law, Alfie is the brilliant, original stage play about a young man with an overwhelming desire for the ladies. You might say that ‘birds’ are irresistible to him, sort of second nature.  There's Ruby - ‘A lust box in beautiful condition’; Clare - ‘You're all lathered in sweat, Alfie’; and Siddie, and Clara, and Annie - but who's counting? Certainly not Alfie. Three in one evening if necessary. And necessary is the right word!

Alfie combines great comedy, genuine pathos, and live 60s music, as it tells the story of a cockney ‘Don Juan’ who swaggers and philosophises his way from conquest to conquest, carefully rejecting anyone or anything that might touch him too deeply.

From the artistic team that created the hugely acclaimed 2008 production of Oh What A Lovely War comes a major revival of Bill Naughton’s classic comedy drama.

"One of the most innovative, audacious companies working in contemporary English Theatre" - The Stage

"Alfie remains the randiest and most shameless Casanova south of the river" - The Sunday Times

“Over forty years on, the work hasn't dated at all, and it could hardly have been better served than by this highly versatile company from Berkshire who both act and accompany themselves instrumentally, and with Edward Elks in the lead role performance that was a true tour de force.” - Daily Echo
