Having been cruelly overlooked for her dream role as Queen Elizabeth in blockbuster TV series The Crown, budding starlet Beth brings her own take on the epic story of the Royal Family to the stage instead... with her agent Stanley coerced into playing (almost) all the other roles - from Prince Philip to Princess Margaret, and all the commoners in between!
In the world premiere of The Crown Dual at the King’s Head Theatre, Islington, from 12 March to 6 April, two actors reimagine the story of how Elizabeth Windsor became Queen Elizabeth II (and recreate two resplendent Netflix series) in 70 minutes of frenetic hat-passing, period accents and corgi impressions.
The Crown Dual, a new comedy from the pen of parodic mastermind Daniel Clarkson, co-creator of Olivier Award nominated hit shows Potted Potter and Potted Panto, is a perfect winter warmer for both fans of the show keenly waiting for the third series – and for those wondering what all the fuss is about!
Directed by Owen Lewis, an Olivier Award nominee for Morecambe and Wise homage Eric and Little Ern.
Cast to be announced.
There are 2 exclusive work in progress performances on 27 January and 24 February with all seats at £10.
Produced by James Seabright.
