The Lavender Hill Mob
Organised by : Chichester Festival Theatre
The men who broke the bank and lost the cargo are back in this brand new, hilarious adaptation of the much-loved classic Ealing Comedy The Lavender Hill Mob. One of the greatest British films of all time (BFI) is brought to life on stage by Olivier-nominated playwright Phil Porter, directed by Tony and Olivier-nominated Jeremy Sams and starring acclaimed comic actors Miles Jupp (A Very British Scandal, Mock The Week, Why Didnt They Ask Evans) and Justin Edwards (The Thick of It, 1917, The Ferryman).
This side-splittingly funny, fast-paced comedy tells the
story of Henry Holland, an unassuming bank clerk who dreams of stealing the van
full of gold bullion he drives across London each day. When Henry learns that
his new lodger makes Eiffel Tower paperweights out of lead, he devises a
plan to make his dream a reality. Its a golden opportunity to pull off
the crime of the century; theyd have to be fools to mess it up
