Lost Boy (Paperback): Phil Willmott Lost Boy (Paperback)
Phil Willmott; Mark Wilson
R395 Discovery Miles 3 950 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

A dark sequel to Peter Pan, this new story reunites J. M. Barrie's characters, now in their early twenties, when a young officer falls asleep with a copy of the children's classic in his pocket and imagines himself as Peter embarking on one final "awfully big adventure" - The First World War. Blending a contemporary music theatre style with music hall influences, Lost Boy premiered at the Finborough Theatre before transferring for an extended run at the Charing Cross Theatre in the West End. Phil Willmott's past musicals include The Dick Barton Trilogy, Around the World in Eighty Days, Once Upon a Time at the Adelphi and Princess Caraboo (also composed with Mark Collins) all published by Samuel French.

Princess Caraboo (Paperback): Phil Willmott Princess Caraboo (Paperback)
Phil Willmott; Contributions by Mark Collins
R358 Discovery Miles 3 580 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Princess Caraboo tells the extraordinary true story of a beautiful young woman who tricked her way from vagrancy to wealth and power in Regency England by pretending to be a shipwrecked Princess. Maintaining the deception becomes imperative as the stakes get higher and higher, and what begins as a desperate ploy by a petty criminal to evade the law escalates into a national scandal threatening to ruin anyone whose compassion, lust or ambition has blinded them to the truth. As Princess Caraboo becomes the superstar of her day she discovers the price to be paid for living a lie and the cost of drawing the man she loves into her deceit. All of us, at one time or another, has told a lie; to make life run smoother, to land the perfect job, to win and keep the ones we love. This entertaining, glamorous and empowering story invites us all to consider the impact of life's embellishments in defining who we really are and who we would like to be.

Once Upon a Time at the Adelphi (Paperback): Phil Willmott, Elliot Davis Once Upon a Time at the Adelphi (Paperback)
Phil Willmott, Elliot Davis
R360 Discovery Miles 3 600 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Phil Willmott's dazzling musical centres on the iconic Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool which saw the great and the glamorous pass through its doors from its heyday in the 1920s to 1940s. Cleverly juxtaposing the past and the present, we follow the love story of four young staff members - Nick and Jo in the present, Young Alice and Thompson in the past - brought to life with the vibrant and poignant reminiscences of Older Alice. 1930s Hollywood stars, cowboy Roy Rogers and tango supremo Carlos Gardel, mingle with Russian acrobats, American G.I.s, aristocratic guests and hotel employees. This is a full-scale musical for a large company with great opportunity for ensemble work and a variety of principal roles for all ages. Its flexible settings means it can be staged elaborately or simply as facilities permit.

Lysistrata - The Sex Strike (Paperback): Germaine Greer, Phil Willmott, Aristophanes Lysistrata - The Sex Strike (Paperback)
Germaine Greer, Phil Willmott, Aristophanes
R358 Discovery Miles 3 580 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

M8 F11. A bathhouse steam room. Period Ancient Greek Athens is in the grip of a futile, destructive war with Sparta and its men are fighting abroad, taken away from their wives and families for long periods at a time. The women of Athens have had enough. At dawn, in a men's bathhouse, leading society woman Lysistrata gathers an assembly of Athenian and Spartan women to discuss negotiating a peace treaty. Their tactics are simple: they will refuse their men sex until peace is declared. Germaine Greer and Phil Willmott's wonderful adaptation of Aristophanes' play "treads expertly between the tremendous and the tacky" ("Observer"). With Carry On characters, a cartoon-style set, raunchy dialogue and bawdy action performed to a soundtrack of Marilyn Monroe and Julie London, the serious subject of war remains prominent amid the humour in this battle of the sexes. "Fast, broad, silly and profound." ("Independent on Sunday").

Dick Barton, hero of the BBC's 1940's radio serial is back in this, the third of Phil Wilmott's critically acclaimed and hugely successful series of musical comedies. This show works independently of its predecessors or as the final part of a hilarious trilogy. A ruthless Latin love lothario has set his sights on the women of London. No gal is safe from the swarthy continental's sultry seductions as he cha-cha-chas his wicked way into the boudoirs and jewellery boxes of Belgravia. Thank heavens that square-jawed British hero, Barton, is on hand to save the dignity and diamonds of our dowagers and debutantes - but will the fancy footwork of this foreign fiend defeat him? At the Warehouse Theatre, Croydon from December 2001.
