TORSTEN, THE BEAUTIFUL LIBERTINE

by Barney Ashton music by Christopher Frost directed by Robert McWhir starring Andy Bell, Lana Pillay, Peter Straker 2- 27 March Running time: 2 hours including interval An unmissable chance to hear Erasure star Andy Bell in an intimate theatre setting, where he will be joined by West End star Peter Straker and dance-floor diva Lana P. Bell plays the age-defying, polysexual hero Torsten. Torsten is living a bizarrely long life, and has gathered an impressive history of lovers while never getting close to any of them. Through a series of smart, catchy and often beautiful songs written for Bells gorgeous tenor voice he counts his loves and losses, while two former flames unite in their treasured memories and bawdy lives. Recommended for ages 16+ contains adult themes.
