Spike Milligan's

Adolf Hitler: My Part In His Downfall

adapted for stage by Ben Power and Tim Carroll

  1. "A well-crafted adaptation of Spike Milligan's memoirs... you get a proper sense of jokes burnished in the flames of adversity and of sheer annoyance at the stupidity of army life."

    Independent

  2. "Entertainingly off-beat... Warm-hearted… Was it the British sense of humour that finally saw off Adolf Hitler? This show puts the case, brilliantly."

    Daily Telegraph

  3. "A joyously funny, gloriously ramshackle evening… Sholto Morgan, who combines mischief with a hint of delirium, is a wonderful Spike. He and Matthew Devereaux, Dominic Gerrard, William Findley and David Morley Hale have the priceless ability to switch from comic sketches to music-making at the drop of a tin hat."
