About this show
Aspiring national treasure and quintessential luvvie Gerald Lloyd-Davies amuses the audience and himself in a comprehensive career retrospective, from his humble beginnings in the Rhondda to playing an ageing Peter Parker in Spiderman: Never Too Late. But when confronted with an inconvenient opinion about his past, Gerald must adapt in order to secure his future. Can he do so before the curtain falls? Laurie Stevens's theatre debut follows her hit character show David's One-Man Band: 'Gleefully funny' (Everything-Theatre.co.uk). 'Evocative... well-written... nails something universal' (List). 'So relatable' (LothianLife.co.uk). 'Touching' (ThreeWeeks).

You know Gerald Lloyd-Davies, of course. Everyone knows Gerald Lloyd-Davies, who trod the boards alongside Ian and Judi until he had that minor unpleasantness on Parkinson.
Gerald won over everyone with his blend of amiable storytelling and candid revelations.
