David Benson’s latest solo show is a fantasy celebrity party directed by David Sant of comic wizards Peepolykus (Let The Donkey Go, Mindbender).
A fantasy party featuring uncanny impressions of Benson’s childhood heroes combines with revelations about the stars of today. Noel Coward welcomes Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Eric Morecambe, Orson Welles, Groucho Marx and more guests. Wisecracks flow freely until things take a turn for the worse…
Which star will be the first to fall? What secrets does Sinatra hide about the Rat Pack, Ava and Marilyn? And what biting insight does Quentin Crisp have to offer? Star Struck takes a refreshingly candid approach to celebrity, as Benson debunks his own hero-worship to consider our obsession with stardom.
