Spike Milligan's Adolf Hitler: My Part in his Downfall

Adapted for The Stage by Ben Power and Tim Carroll
Directed by Tim Carroll
Designed by Laura Hopkins
Choreography by Sian Williams
A Bristol Old Vic Production

A man called Chamberlain who did Prime Minister impressions spoke on the wireless; he said, “As from eleven o’clock we are at war with Germany”. (I loved the “we”.) “War?” said Mother. “It must be something we said,” said Father…

Spike Milligan’s celebrated war memoirs are brought to anarchic life in this hilarious new stage adaptation. This epic Everyman’s odyssey through World War Two, with a cast of extraordinary characters, charts Gunner Milligan’s progress from joining the Royal Artillery through the North African and Italian campaigns. And with Spike’s sense of lunacy, anything can happen along the way! High comedy and tragedy collide, as we follow him and his ad hoc jazz quartet – complete with their famed comedy routines – adrift on the tide of great historic events. Using Milligan’s own words, the story is told through a joyous fusion of comedy, jazz, song and dance – showing how humour, music and comradeship enabled a hapless and disparate bunch of young men to prevail against the might of the Nazi War Machine.

The Drum Theatre is a small intimate venue seating approximately 200 people.
