KEEP YOUR SUNNY SIDE UP!
Our latest production, a play with music Keep Your Sunny Side Up! – The Gracie Fields Story by David Hampshire played to full houses and standing ovations at the Lantern Theatre, Brighton, in September 2025. We are delighted that the production has been nominated in 4 categories in the 25/26 National Fringe Theatre Awards: Lisa Rouselle (Lead Performance In A Musical), David Hampshire (New Musical (Book), Pete Moody (Musical Director) and Outstanding Production.
In the mid-1930’s Gracie Fields (1898-1979) was Britain’s most successful variety artist, who at the height of her fame was the highest earning female performer in the world. A ‘superstar’ before the word had even been invented Gracie Field’s songs such as Sally, Sing As We Go, The Isle of Capri, The Biggest Aspidistra In The World and Wish Me Luck (As You Wave Me Goodbye) instilled themselves in the national consciousness and many are still fondly remembered today.
Funny Turns
In November 2023, we presented Funny Turns by David Hampshire, a comedy set in a theatrical house in 1935.
The play ran at the Grove Theatre, Eastbourne in November 2023 to sold-out houses. Direction was by Maurice Thorogood.
