Stephen and the Sexy Partridge is written by Lily Bevan and Finnian O'Neill, directed by Cal McCrystal, presented by Osip Theatre. Following a sold out run at The Old Red Lion, Stephen and the Sexy Partridge returns to London in a new production by the award-winning director of The Mighty Boosh, Cal McCrystal.
Join Stephen on a Christmas shopping spree... Two Turtle Doves, Three French Hens, Four Calling Birds later... he ends up with more than he bargained for. What does it take to wake someone up to the true spirit of Christmas? A surreal tale of love between one man and his bird, this is a Christmas comedy cracker.
At Trafalgar Studios 2, West End, 25th Nov 2009 - 5th Jan 2010
The Press on Stephen and the Sexy Partridge
A classy, technically likable exercise in polished
surrealism'
Time Out Critic's Choice ****
'Packed with ingenious parodies, ludicrous impersonations
and sex'
The Times
'One of the funniest offerings in the West End this
season... Tickets to this short, sweet, Christmas show should be a must
on everybody's Christmas shopping list this year.'
The Stage ****
'A grown up Panto for the very young at heart... festive,
side-splittingly funny and wonderfully uplifting - truly in the spirit
of the season.'
