Goodbye — The (After)life of Cook & Moore


“Goodbye the (after)life of Cook & Moore” is the world premiere of this darkly surreal comedy play co-written by Clive Gehle with Jonathan Hansler (the actor who played Peter Cook in the play “Pete’n’Me” at New End Theatre, London).

Pete and Dud are in a bar in Limbo facing Divine Judgment for “Derek & Clive.” As they confront their past and face their future in Heaven or Hell, they are joined by performers whose careers they influenced for good or bad, including Kenneth Willliams, Tony Hancock and Frankie Howerd.

It can be seen at Edinburgh Festival from August 1-27 at the Gilded Balloon, Teviot Bristo Sq., Edinburgh, Scotland, at 17:45 p.m. Phone 0131-668 1633 or book online at www.gildedballoon.co.uk

Pre-Edinburgh previews can be seen at the Hackney Empire Studio Theatre, London E8, on Sunday 22nd July at 8 p.m. (020 8985 2424) and Pentameters Theatre at The Three Horseshoes, Heath St., London NW3 (020 7435 3648) on Monday, July 23 AND Friday, July 27 at 8 p.m.
