About

Betty Blue Eyes – a musical by Stiles and Drewe (Based on A Private Function – Alan Bennett) 19 – 24 May “There’s a little piggy that I’m telling you about; It’s a secret little piggy! Don’t let anyone find out!” Set in a typical, small, Yorkshire town in 1947 which, like the rest of the country, bears the scars of the recent war and the rationing that is still in place in Austerity Britain. Betty Blue Eyes is based on the 1984 Alan Bennett film, A Private Function. There is a pig, a chiropodist, a community determined to come together to celebrate the Royal Wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip, antics and shenanigans a-plenty and the burning questions of whether this private function will ever succeed and who will get a VIP invitation to the celebration - with a large helping of roast pork! The ultimate backdrop for a British musical comedy which will keep the audience humming the songs long after leaving the theatre.
