Scaramouche Jones by Justin Butcher

THIS EVENT IS IN THE PAST


The pale-faced child born at midnight on New Year's Eve 1899 in a dingy Trinidad knocking shop, Scaramouche's life has been a vivid odyssey through extraordinary adventures, crumbling empires and the darkest episodes of the 20th century. Now, Millennium Eve 1999, Scaramouche steps out of the circus ring and reveals the loves, brutalities, comedies and tragedies that created him.

The show that kickstarted White Cobra!

"... I was blown away by Richard Jordan's sensitive, revealing performance. It was a marvellous feat to be able to hold the stage for 90 minutes... I had to wipe away many a tear but it's a show that will stay with me for a very long time." - Emma Payne, Chronicle & Echo

"Richard Jordan's portrayal of Scaramouche Jones directed by Kate Billingham was a pure delight. This is a show that should not be missed." - Joy Eason, Chronicle & Echo

"I wouldn’t have missed it for all the tea in China." - Jan Palmer Sayer (Adjudicator at British All Winners Finals, Hertford 2016)
