⭐ THE COMEBACK TO RETURN FOR LIMITED RUN – NOËL COWARD THEATRE – JULY 2021 ⭐
The critically acclaimed The Comeback will return for a limited 3-week run at the Noël Coward Theatre this July, it has been announced.
The Comeback first opened to rave reviews in December 2020, before being shut down after just 9 performances due to the government-enforced national lockdown.
The Comeback, tells the story of two double acts fighting to wrest control of the most chaotic, farcical and high-stakes gig of their respective careers. Directed by Emily Burns, The Comeback promises to bring heart-warming joy and laughter to the Noël Coward Theatre this summer.
Up-and-coming comics Alex and Ben have been booked in the warm-up spot for a beloved but fading double act’s comeback tour. Neither duo is delighted to be playing to a sparse crowd in a sleepy, seaside town, but when it’s revealed that a Hollywood director is in the audience, both acts glimpse a final chance for their big break. Cue sabotage, mistaken identity and full on farcical mayhem, as the performance descends into a desperate battle for the limelight. With the action alternating between offstage and on, and the tone between Noises Off and Morecambe and Wise’s old-school charm, this is a warm-hearted, joyful, and dazzlingly funny new comedy.
Each night Ashenden and Owen will be joined on stage by a surprise celebrity guest star playing a cameo role in the production. Previous surprise cameos include Sir Ian McKellen, Joanna Lumley, Graham Norton and Danny Dyer.
The production will be staged in a Covid safe environment following current government advice, with audiences adhering to social distancing guidelines; and in line with Society of London Theatre’s See It Safely campaign.
The Comeback will play at the Noël Coward Theatre, running from 7th – 25th July 2021
Tickets will be available from 30th April 2021.
