show details - Hancock's Finest Hour
Tue 30 Nov /Hancock.jpg

Nicholas Hennegan Limited
and Maverick Theatre
Hancock's Finest Hour 
A comedy drama by Colin Bennett
Directed by Chris Hayes & Designed by Douglas Heap

“A triumphant piece of writing… like Hancock it is both very funny and very sad. An evening I shall remember.” (BBC Radio)

Hancock’s Finest Hour is set in a BBC dressing room, just before and after Tony Hancock’s famous TV interview with John Freeman, the man who famously made Tony cry and seem to reappraise his life and times. Bouncing between the lows of alcoholism and the highs of being a National Treasure, Tony begins to reminisce – and is visited by a procession of memories from his life, both tragic and comedic, with a surprise ending! Starring Paul Henry (best-known as Benny in Crossroads) as Tony Hancock.
