Spike Milligan�s Adolf Hitler: My Part in His Downfall will play at the
Hampstead Theatre in London from 22 July � 22 August. As the Pythons
were dedicated Spike fans and Spike himself had a cameo part in Life of
Brian, we're sure this play will appeal to Python fans and we'd like to
get the word out about it.
A man called Chamberlain who did Prime Minister impressions spoke on
the wireless; he said 'As from eleven o'clock we are at war with
Germany'. (I loved the 'we').
'War?' said Mother.
'It must be something we said,' said Father.
This hilarious, irreverent romp through Spike�s adventures as Gunner
Milligan is based on his celebrated war memoirs, using his own words
and featuring live performances from a jazz quartet. It has just
transferred here to Hampstead from a hugely successful run at the
Bristol Old Vic, where it was hailed as �joyously funny� (Guardian,
****) and �as wacky as Spike� (Telegraph, *****). Contains barrack room
humour!

Spike Milligan's Adolf Hitler: My Part In His Downfall Adapted for the
