“Dick Barton, Special Agent” by Phil Wilmott

“This is the BBC broadcasting from London. It’s time for our next exciting spring production – Dick Barton, Special Agent.”

An hilarious send up of the classic 1940s BBC radio serial, where intrepid sleuth Dick Barton faces his arch-enemies Baron Scarheart and Marta Heartburn in a fiendish plot to disrupt the tea supply to Britain, and again aims to rid the world of evil in the name of decency and patriotism. Please come, and tell all your friends, it’s going to be a very funny show!

Socially distanced performances on the 18th, 19th and 21st May (matinee and evening shows) at the Watermans Theatre. Tickets available on the Watermans website or by ringing 020 8232 1010. Recommended for 12 years old and above.
