After two recent sell-out performances at Wilton’s, London’s famous Players’ Theatre is proud to be returning to this magical venue in May with yet another outstanding mélange of traditional Music Hall, circa 1890. An august array of talented artistes from BBC’s long-running series The Good Old Days will take you on a nostalgic and richly entertaining trip down memory lane to the truly golden era of song, dance, magic and laughter. Helming this splendid evening, Wilton’s favourite Mr Tom Carradine will be ‘tinkling the ivories’, and your elegantly-waistcoated, sharp-witted Chairman Mr Richard Gauntlett - complete with gavel - will ensure that this gala performance will delight and entertain lovers of participatory entertainment, the songs you love to sing, and the jokes you love to hear.
