New West End musical based on Alan Bennett and Malcolm Mowbray`s hilarious film A Private Function with music by George Stiles and lyrics by Anthony Drewe.
Featuring Sarah Lancashire, Reece Shearsmith, Ann Emery, Ian Conningham, Jack Edwards, Mark Meadows, Adrian Scarborough and Betty The Pig!
Twenty six years ago Alan Bennett and Malcolm Mowbray wove this story into a hilariously funny but sharply observed comic film called A Private Function, which centered around Betty, an adorable pig, who is being illegally reared to ensure the local dignitaries can celebrate the Royal Wedding with a lavish banquet while the local population make do with Spam.
Ron Cowen and Daniel Lipman have brilliantly adapted and expanded this story for the stage and George Stiles and Anthony Drewe have written a deliciously infectious, toe-tapping, retro contemporary score. The result is an utterly British musical, full of eccentric characters and of course, starring Betty the pig!
