The Play What I Wrote - The Lowry, Salford review

Perhaps the most beautiful thing about this production is – you don't have to be a Morecambe and Wise fan to be in on the jokes and references.

The Play What I Wrote review

This is a great fun night out with lots of laughs for all the family that gives audiences a bit more than a 'tribute' or impressions show while still bringing the essence of the greatness of Eric and Ernie. But after this discussion of keeping double acts together, I'd love to see a reunion of writers Sean Foley and Hamish McColl - perhaps trapped in a bathroom for 26 years?

Review: The Play What I Wrote - a stupidly funny tribute

It's not exactly a Morecambe and Wise impersonation act, but it's certainly set within that world of comedy and they play homage to a lot of sketches and mannerisms you'll know and love if you're a fan. You're in for an enhanced experience if you already know the duo.

The Play What I Wrote review

here was deserved applause at the end of The Play What I Wrote from an enthusiastic audience. I just wish I could have shared their passion. It was good but for some inexplicable reason it only occasionally touched my funny bone.

The Play What I Wrote review

Sean Foley directs a breezy revival of his knowingly metatheatrical homage to one of Britain's best-loved comic double acts.
