All The Fun Of The Fair

David Essex and Boogie Nights creator Jon Conway invite you to what should be a rollercoaster ride of a musical, underscored by a helter-skelter of David Essex hits and album favourites. Inspired by David's debut album of the same name, as the words of the title song suggest, he plays fun fair owner Levi Lee, recently widowed and father of a rebellious teenage son. Danger and mysticism lurk in the future, as predicted by the gypsy fortune teller who is in love with Levi. This contemporary story with a heartbreaking twist reaches out to every parent and anyone who has ever been torn in love. For nostalgic fans, it may also bring back memories of That'll Be The Day, with its mix of dodgems and motorbikes, crafty cons and candy floss, fairground horses and fights, along with romance and rock and roll to bring out the carnival atmosphere. But beware, all is not always fun at the fair!
