Live Wire Theatre returns to The Rondo with their hilarious new comedy Biggles Flies A Fokker Home

A spoof of the WE Johns novels, our hero Biggles and his lifelong chums Algy and Ginger must win the war for King and Country by flying  the prototype for the  Fokker AKE fighter plane out of Nazi Germany under the noses of a crack regiment of SS storm troopers.
Inspired by Monty Python’s famous sketch Biggles Flies Undone, Dougie Blaxland’s parody of the ace aviator premieres at The Rondo as the first ever stage version of Biggles

The Meaning of Riff
The Meaning of Riff: Production Image Directed by Andy Burden
Thu 15th December at 8:00pm

IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE CHORD…

Widdly-widdly guitar solos, thundering drums, screaming vocalists going on about Satan. It’s loud, it’s silly, and I’m old enough to know better. So why do I still Love it?
Using comedy, storytelling and a flying V guitar, performer Eamonn Fleming and director Andy Burden are back with a new show all about a lifelong Love/Hate affair with the genius and stupidity that is Heavy Metal. From Teenage obsession to Midlife Crisis, this is a show for anyone who’s ever heard a loud guitar and felt the urge to jump up and down and break things.
Come along to this reduced price preview and discover the answer to the ultimate question: What is the Meaning of Riff?
