Spike Milligan's Adolf Hitler: My Part In His Downfall
Monday 15 to Saturday 20 February
Spike Milligan's celebrated war memoirs take to the road once more in this gloriously absurd and exuberant hit comedy drama. High comedy and tragedy collide, as we follow Gunner Milligan and his jazz quartet - the show joyously fuses comedy, song and dance.
