SPIKE Milligan’s anarchical farce Puckoon will be heading to Stourbridge Town Hall next month.

The Goon star’s comic novel has been turned it into a smash hit stage show by production company Big Telly, which is now making a repeat tour of the UK, and it will stop of in Stourbridge on May 11.

Set in Ireland in 1922, the story tells the fictitious and farcical story of the Ulster Boundary Commission which has drawn a new border straight through the small town of Puckoon, leaving most of the village in the independent free state and the rest in Northern Ireland.

This leaves the church separated from its own graveyard and the residents find that drink is thirty percent cheaper in one corner of the pub.

The high-energy production features songs, silliness and a talented cast who together have created a show which has been compared to ‘The League of Gentlemen meets Monty Python'.

It also features an cast of famous faces including Paddy Jenkins (Game of Thrones), Patrick J O’ Reilly (Cabaret), Keith Singleton (One Sandwich Short of a Genius), John O Mahony (Mrs Browns Boys), Giles Stoakley (A Midsummer Night’s Dream) and Paul Alexander Boyd.

Tickets for the show, which starts at 7.30pm, cost £16 adults and £12 for children.
