JEFFREY Holland (Hi-de-Hi, You Rang M’Lord) stars in this one-man show about friendship, memories, and a couple of remarkable lives.
Set in the bedroom of a sick Oliver Hardy, the show takes place during Laurel’s visit to the dying man.
Recounting their past success as the comedy double act Laurel and Hardy, this is a humorous and touching look at one of the great cinematic partnerships of the last century.
Fulfilling a long-held desire to pay tribute to his hero Stan Laurel, Jeffrey Holland tells this intriguing, funny and often poignant tale of friendship, love and dedication about one of Hollywood’s greatest film comedians.
It runs for two weeks at The Viking Theatre, Clontarf, from Aptil 1 to 13, nightly from 8pm.
The famous comedy duo appeared as a team in 107 films, starring in 32 short silent films, 40 short sound films, and 23 full-length feature films. They also made 12 guest or cameo appearances, including the Galaxy of Stars promotional film of 1936.
Prior to emerging as a team, both actors had well-established film careers. Laurel had appeared in over 50 films as an actor (while also working as a writer and director), while Hardy had been in more than 250 productions.
