The anarchic comedy of The Goon Show has had generations splitting their sides since its creation in 1951. Roy Smiles' brilliant new play hilariously invokes the madcap spirit of The Goons but also takes us on a darker journey into the fevered mind of the great comic genius Spike Milligan.

Ying Tong shows Spike grappling with his demons while being exhorted by the ambitious Peter Sellars to crank out one more series.

As reality and the surreal world of The Goons collide, the play morphs into a pastiche Goon Show including Harry Secombe and announcer Wallace Greenslade, where you will meet all the favourite characters including Eccles, Bluebottle, Bloodnok and Count Moriarty et al.

"Agonisingly funny... Ying Tong proves both hilarious and deeply moving and in the theatre you can't ask for much more than that." Telegraph UK
