Dawn (aka the Queen of British comedy) has written a new show, based on her life and career, called 30 Million Minutes. The UK tour begins previews in Sheffield on Thursday 5th June. Tickets for all dates go on sale at 9am on Friday 28th February. Full tour dates below.
30 Million Minutes will consist of various delights and riches, with the odd irksome tribulation thrown in, as Dawn takes audiences through the various lessons life has taught her, and the things she knows for sure.
Dawn said: "I'm sick with excitement about this solo tour. I am enjoying the fact that I can't categorise exactly what it is, but it's somewhere between a monologue, a play, and an autobiographical slide show with a few funnies thrown in. At last, I have one of my three genie wishes granted, which is that I finally get to work with Michael Grandage. The other two wishes are as yet unfulfilled. They are secret obviously, but suffice to say, one is about Barack Obama in Speedos. The other is about me in speedos, with cheesecake involved... Enough said."
30 Million Minutes is produced by Phil McIntyre Entertainments and the Michael Grandage Company. The show is directed by Michael Grandage. Set and Costume Design by Lez Brotherston. Lighting Design by Willie Williams.
