Dick Barton Episode IV: The Flight of the Phoenix

Warehouse Theatre Company presents the WORLD PREMIERE of Dick Barton's latest death-defying adventure

Friday th December to Sunday 2nd February

Gaberdine collar up, trilby at a rakish angle, intrepid sleuth Dick Barton, is back in his most death-defying episode yet. Ably assisted by his jolly working class sidekicks Jock and Snowy, Dick has waged a constant battle with the forces of EFIL (the society of Evil Foreigners in London). But this time, is Dick's number finally up? Will Dick's courage crack and stiff upperlip tremble when, across a darkened crowded room his eyes meet with the most fiendish foe yet? Could this be the last time we see Dick Barton alive?

The cast features Adam Morris as Dick Barton and Darrell Brockis, William Oxborrow, Kit Benjamin, Stephen Aintree and Louise Doherty.
