The new Musical Travels with my Aunt starring Steven Pacey and Patricia Hodge is being presented at Chichester's Minerva from – (press night 26th April).Patricia Hodge plays Aunt Augusta and Steven Pacey returns to Chichester to play Henry Pulling.
Based on the novel by Graham Greene’s , this new musical written by Emmy Award-winners Ron Cowen and Daniel Lipman (Betty Blue Eyes) has a witty score by the Olivier Award-winning team of George Stiles and Anthony Drewe (Mary Poppins, Honk! and Half A Sixpence for Festival 2016). Christopher Luscombe directs. His previous work includes The Merry Wives of Windsor for Shakespeare’s Globe and Nell Gwynn in the West End.
Retired bank manager Henry Pulling is happy alone with his dahlias. Until, at his mother’s funeral, he meets his only living relative, the decidedly bohemian Aunt Augusta. After she’s rattled the family skeletons, she suggests the pair flee to Europe. Henry is reluctant, but Aunt Augusta is nothing if not persuasive.Through Paris and Istanbul and on to South America, Henry soon finds himself in a luxurious whirl of glamorous flight attendants, chic hotel suites and a particularly fine couchette on the Orient Express. But alongside the romance and first-class thrills, there’s still a lot Henry doesn’t know about his aunt. Particularly how she’s paying for the high life, and why she has so many grateful men dotted around the globe.
