24
The Crown Dual @ Kings Head Theatre
London on 24 Feb - 19:00


by Daniel Clarkson Directed by Owen Lewis Having been cruelly overlooked for her dream role as Queen Elizabeth in blockbuster 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. 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. 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! This new comedy comes from the pen of parodic mastermind Daniel Clarkson, co-creator of Olivier Award nominated hit shows Potted Potter and Potted Panto, and is directed by Owen Lewis, also an Olivier Award nominee for Morecambe and Wise homage Eric and Little Ern. The Crown Dual will be performed by Rosie Holt and Brendan Murphy. Rosie is a rising star of the comedy scene, having appeared in two acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe shows last summer. Brendan regularly appears in Potted Potter, is one half of cabaret duo The Crooners, and starred as Token Guy in King Kong (A Comedy), also written by Dan Clarkson and directed by Owen Lewis. Performances on 27 January and 24 February are exclusive work in progress showings with all seats at 10, ahead of the full run of the show from 12 March to 6 April.
