Love your drama rich in scandal and painful emotion?
Good Night Oscar is for you, starring the Tony and Emmy Award-winner Sean Hayes (Will & Grace) who reprises his Broadway smash in the UK premiere. You only have a seven week run to catch this wonderful slice of genius, so don’t miss out.

Good Night, Oscar the story
A mix of humour, scandal and raw vulnerability is yours to enjoy in this marvellous play. We roll back time to 1958 when the beloved US talk show host Jack Paar, star of The Tonight Show, welcomes the unpredictable Oscar Levant as an interviewee. But Oscar, a skilled pianist and Hollywood star, has been freed from a mental hospital for just four hours especially for the show, and he is about to completely lose the plot on telly.
