Details

The most famous wit and dandy of them all, the man who taught a generation of English men how to dress, friend and confidant to lords, ladies and royalty is preparing to receive the Prince of Wales. But Beau Brummell is not in Bath or Brighton or any of the other fashionable watering holes. Still more interested in cuffs, collars and creases than in matters of life and death, he is in a madhouse in Calais, determined to relive past glories...

Reviews

UK Theatre Web: 13Apr01:
Brilliant play with two suberb actors!! Very funny at times but also very sad. Was very impressed by the way Peter Bowles played the part of Beau Brummell, between hope and despair. And then when despair takes over completly he turns himself into an old man completly!! Great acting. Don't miss it
