Been a couple of years in the making, very happy it’s almost out there. 7th Dec Sky Arts. ❤️ Documentary opens up Spike Milligan’s ‘treasure trove’ of scripts and footage | Spike Milligan | The Guardian https://t.co/aLdbW19vKN

Wonderful snap by ⁦@elliemorris⁩ of the cast of ⁦@SpikeThePlay⁩ enjoying the last performance of ⁦@MCabournSmith⁩ as Janet , the spot effects operator ⁦@New_Theatre⁩. Margaret always brought the house down…not a bad way to start a play!

[dave ainsworth @daveainsworth63]

Well, what a great show @SpikeThePlay was. Awesome performances all round. Including the incredible @Mack_JEM. I sincerely hope this piece gets a revival next year. Deserves to be seen in West End #SpikeMilligan #Goons

[Watermill Theatre @WatermillTh]

And just like that it's the end of the tour! Sending the fab folk @SpikeThePlay all the best for their final performance @New_Theatre Cardiff this evening. It's made us so proud to see this brilliant show spread cheer across the nation this autumn!

'This is the BBC.

But that's not my fault.'

[Buzz Magazine @BuzzMagWales]

A packed @New_Theatre welcomed the first showing of Paul Hart’s @SpikeThePlay Tuesday starring @robertwilfort. Taking the audience through the ascent of the 1950s radio hit The Goon Show, the play covers all the successes and troubles it faced.

@SpikeThePlay phenomenal @New_Theatre tonight.Ian Hislop and @Ncknwmn have created something like watching live jazz in play-form.A perfectly cast @robertwilfort showing Spike as someone raging against the machine while also trying to gain acknowledgement from it. Just perfect.

REVIEW @SpikeThePlay @New_Theatre for @GetTheChance4U ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “SPIKE is an eccentric celebration of a man who, even after a lifetime of making the world laugh, was still gone too Goon”. Moving & hilarious 🎺 Make sure to catch it before it’s Goon forever! https://t.co/EXnn5IdpoX

[New Theatre Cardiff @New_Theatre]

Today @robertwilfort’s lovely mum Loretta brought a coach FULL of people from his hometown #Porthcawl to come & see the matinee of @SpikeThePlay 😍

You’ve got until Sat 26 Nov to see this local star on our stage & give him a big Welsh welcome home 👋🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
