Written by Spike Milligan and Ronnie Barker.Adapted by John Hewer. Directed by Rachael Hewer.

Something is rotten in Old London Town

In Victorian England, a rotten, raspberry blower is claiming the lives of the upper-classes. The dark alleyways and moonlit graveyards of London are alive with the repetitive dins of the Phantom.

Inspector Corner of the Yard and his faithful sidekick, Sergeant Bowles, are fed up with these din-dins. The case is afoot. Will the Phantom be uncloaked? All will be revealed particularly if the Phantom uncloaks himself.

Immortalised by The Two Ronnies, this Jack the Ripper parody is raspberry-jam-packed with Spike Milligans and Ronnie Barkers love of surreal absurdism, clever puns, near-the-knuckle ribaldry, quick-fire jokes and famous wordplay.

Celebrating the 50th anniversary since its original broadcast in 1976, this newly adapted stage play brings the Phantom back to life like never before.

Starring Daniel Grooms, Callum Hale, John Hewer and Della Maylan.
