A mystery special guest will appear on stage in a smash-hit production coming to Cambridge Arts Theatre.
West End comedy The Play What I Wrote, all about the comic duo Morecambe and Wise, plays at Cambridge Arts Theatre from Monday, February 21 to Saturday, February 26.
A key element to this production is a special mystery guest star, who appears at every performance.
A host of famous A-listers have previously held this role.
The name of Cambridge’s mystery guest star is being kept secret so audience members are in for a surprise when the curtain rises next week.
Described by the Guardian as "recklessly, tear-inducingly funny", The Play What I Wrote is a touching homage to much-loved comedy duo Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise.
The Play What I Wrote’s special guest appearances have been the topic of much discussion since the production first premiered in 2001.
The star-studded list of previous mystery guests has included Ralph Fiennes, Ewan McGregor, Joanna Lumley, Daniel Radcliffe, Kylie Minogue, Nigel Havers and Tom Hiddleston.
Thom has written a play, an epic set in the French Revolution called A Tight Squeeze for the Scarlet Pimple.
Dennis, on the other hand, wants to continue with their double act.
He believes that if they perform a tribute to Morecambe and Wise, Thom’s confidence will be restored and the double act will go on.
But first Dennis needs to persuade a guest star to appear in the play what Thom wrote.
Tickets for The Play What I Wrote at Cambridge Arts Theatre cost from £20 to £45, with all prices including a £3 per ticket booking fee.
