The Entertainer Theatre Break Package

Starring Pam Ferris and Robert Lindsay and directed by Sean Holmes. John Osborne was one of the 20th centurys most celebrated playwrights and the original "angry young man". Following the success of Look Back in Anger, he continued to examine the state of the country in The Entertainer, this time using three generations of a family of entertainers to symbolise the decline of post war Britain. To mark the plays 50th anniversary, Robert Lindsay plays struggling comedian Archie Rice, a music hall performer in an age when music halls had all but disappeared. Driven by dreams of stardom and a desperation to equal his fathers success, Archie finds himself a man out of his time a selfish, deceitful hasbeen, headlining a tacky revue in a rundown seaside town. Family tensions rise to the boil as he shamelessly cheats on his wife and tricks his dying father into financing one last revue. But throughout it all, Archie jigs and jabbers before his ever diminishing audience and does whatever it takes to keep the show going.
