About this Event

THE PHANTOM RASPBERRY BLOWER OF OLD LONDON TOWN
Written by Spike Milligan and Ronnie Barker
Adapted by John Hewer

Something is rotten in Old London Town…

In Victorian England, a rotten, raspberry blower is claiming the lives of the upper-classes. The dark alleyways and moonlit graveyards of London are alive with the repetitive dins of the Phantom.

Inspector Corner of the Yard and his faithful sidekick, Sergeant Bowles, are fed up with these din-dins. The case is afoot. Will the Phantom be uncloaked? All will be revealed… particularly if the Phantom uncloaks himself.

Immortalised by The Two Ronnies, this Jack the Ripper parody is raspberry-jam-packed with Spike Milligan’s and Ronnie Barker’s love of surreal absurdism, clever puns, near-the-knuckle ribaldry, quick-fire jokes and famous wordplay.

Celebrating the50th anniversary since its original broadcast in 1976, this newly adapted stage play brings the Phantom back to life like never before.

Presented by Hambledon Productions with the kind permission of Spike Milligan Productions Ltd and Handles for Forks Ltd.
