Inspired by one of his most successful albums, All the Fun of the Fair,
David Essex plays
Levi Lee, recently widowed and father of a rebellious teenage son. Danger and mysticism lurk in the future as predicted by the gypsy fortune teller who is in love with Levi. Dodgems and motorbikes, crafty cons and candy floss, fairground horses and fights, along with unrequited love, romance and rock and roll bring out the carnival atmosphere in this underbelly world of fairground life.Ticket prices: £20, £30, £40, £50 previews
