Once in a Life Time

The Hippodrome, Todmorden

March 1994

A  knockabout satiric tale of three on-the-skids vaudeville troupers  Jerry, Mae, and George, who decide to head for Hollywood and try their  luck at the newest craze: "talkies". After a hilarious series of  consistent blunders, the unassuming George is carried to fame and  fortune becoming (for a short time, at least) a captain of The Industry.  A wonderful satire of Hollywood which rings as true now as when it was  written in 1929.


Written by Moss Hart & George S. Kaufman.
