Mystery Guests Leave Right Size Fans Guessing???

Producers of The Right Size's new homage to comedians Morecambe and Wise, The Play What I Wrote, are promising theatregoers a string of celebrity mystery guests - but who? The play, subtitled A Tight Squeeze for the Pimpernel and directed by top thesp Kenneth Branagh, opens at the West End's Wyndham's Theatre on 5 November 2001, following previews from 19 October and an initial two-week run at the Liverpool Playhouse. Apparently 28 celebrities have agreed to a rotating schedule of performances, but the names of who exactly might be on that schedule are being closely guarded. As befits the notion of a "mystery guest", no announcements will be made in advance of a performance, although associate producer Dafydd Rogers told Whatsonstage.com that there will be both male and female celebrities and that all will be "the kind of people Morecambe and Wise would have chosen". Sounds like a logistical nightmare but maybe not so nightmarish for Rogers and fellow producer David Pugh who are also responsible for the long-running Art, now decamping Wyndham's for the Whitehall, with its big name recast every 12 weeks.
