A funny, witty and poignant play revealing the eccentricities of our monarchy as recorded in the fictitious 'secret' diaries of William Tallon - Steward and Page of the Backstairs to the Queen Mother. Backstairs Billy has seen and done it all Billy died a few years after the Queen Mother, taking with him his secrets - or so they thought! This hilarious comedy from award-winning writer Graham Woolnough, starring Ian Stark, was the toast of the Edinburgh Fringe and has been delighting audiences across the UK. Director Graham Woolnough has created a touching and delightful production and Ian Stark should become a national treasure. This is one invitation to tea you should certainly accept. British Theatre Guide ★★★★★ The script is superb, the acting faultless and a very happy audience rolled along lovingly as Billy spilled the beans. Remote Goat: ★★★★★ A theatrical treat for those with any political disposition Ian Stark's Backstage Billy pinpoints the highs and lows of a career serving the Queen Mother. Tea With the old Queen is compellingly outrageous and significant Broadway Baby ★★★★ A clever and well-structured script, professionally performed an opulently furnished set a noble piece of tittle-tattle. Cheers Three Weeks Edinburgh ★★★★
