400: A Comedy
“Tear-streaming comedy gold!”
~ One Plymouth
As part of Ocean City’s Mayflower International Festival, the award-winning Le Navet Bete (Dracula: The Bloody Truth, The Three Musketeers: A Comedy Adventure, Treasure Island) are back in Plymouth this summer with a brand new, fast-paced comedy for all the family.
Armed with bucket loads of fun, farce and physical comedy along with a truck load of costumes to boot, Devon's favourite funny men harness their impeccable powers of improvisation to tackle 400 years of British and American history.
That is until they are interrupted by an unexpected visit...
Teaming up with internationally renowned comedian Tony Hawks (Round Ireland With A Fridge, I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue) and their long-time collaborator, and one of UK theatre’s best comedy writers and directors, John Nicholson (Peepolykus, BBC Radio 4), expect hilarious musical numbers, questionable dance routines and some surprise special guests, in an ‘out of this world’ adventure you’ll never forget!
This show was a Le Navet Bete, Barbican Theatre Plymouth and Mayflower 400 co-production and supported by Arts Council England.
400: A Comedy was first performed on Wednesday 16th June 2021 at the Theatre Royal Plymouth, Plymouth, Devon, UK.
