FULFILLING a long held desire to pay tribute to his hero Stan Laurel, Jeffrey Holland (Hi-de-Hi, You Rang M'Lord) tells this intriguing, funny and often poignant tale of friendship, love and dedication about one of Hollywood’s great film comedians at the Subscription Rooms, Stroud this month.
Set in the bedroom of a sick Oliver Hardy, the one-man show takes place during Laurel's visit to the dying man. Recounting their past success as the comedy double act Laurel and Hardy, this is a humorous and touching look at one of the great cinematic partnerships of the last century. It is a show about friendship, memories and a couple of remarkable lives.
'...And This is My Friend Mr Laurel', by Gail Louw and Jeffrey Holland is currently on a 25 date tour which includes The Subscription Rooms, Stroud on Thursday, September 24 at 8pm. Visit www.subscriptionrooms.org.uk for tickets and more information.
