Larkin' About with The Antonious Players

I had a wonderful evening on Sunday at the jewel that is “The Theatre on the Lake” in Keswick.

“Larkin’ About”; celebrating the life of Philip Larkin, certainly lived up to expectations, with John Telfer and Sunny Ormonde  (Alan Franks and Lilian Bellamy from The Archers) tackling the roles of Larkin and his multiple lady loves with enthusiasm , conviction and comedic timing. I wept with laughter at their “Baby, it’s cold outside” duet, Sunny responding to Larkin’s entreaties in a broad Yorkshire accent, playing the role of Betty, Larkin’s secretary and one time lover, to perfection. A superb production!
