Westacre Summer Theatre 2008 officially begins on Sunday - when organisers will be welcoming the distinguished star of stage, radio and screen Nicholas Parsons.
He will be performing his one-man show How Pleasant to Know Mr Lear. Audiences will experience a portrait of the nonsensical genius, Edward Lear, as they are taken through his amazing life and unusual personality.
During the 70y minute performance, Nicholas Parsons will present a varied and wonderful selection of Lear's comic and serious verse featuring The Owl and The Pussycat, The Jumblies, The Pobble, The Quangle Wangle, The Yonghy-Honghy-Bo, Uncle Arly and The Dong with the Luminous Nose.
As the host of BBC Radio 4's JUST A MINUTE, which has been on air for more than 40 years and counting, Nicholas Parsons has become a much loved household name.
Westacre Summer Theatre is looking forward to his visit and to seeing 'How Pleasant to Know Mr Lear', for which he has received rave reviews.
Since going on sale, tickets have been flying out of the box office. There are now very few remaining so if you would like to catch this performance from one of the country's best loved figures, call the box office now on 01760 755800 to book tickets.
