A superb new show written and performed by Mark Burgess.

Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond: Secret Agent 007, stands before the audience. . . . . . a Martini in hand. . . . . . a terrified look in his eyes. . . . . at 42 he about to do the thing he fears most - he is getting married. . . . . .

It is 1952 and Fleming is putting the finshing touches to his first Bond book, Casino Royale. . . . . . and Bond is with us: the alter ego, an icon of class and everything that Fleming aspired to. . . . . . . .

Following his stunning success as 'Withnail' in Hanover Productions outstanding Brighton International Festival stage adaptation of "WITHNAIL & I", Mark Burgess, best known for his character 'Gordon Collins' in Brookside now brings you one of the most compelling one-man shows you are ever likely to see.

Style, wit, flair and charm ooze from his performance as Ian Fleming and leaves you in no doubt that you are in the presence of a master storyteller.

P&O Cruises

We have just completed our first Mediterranean Cruise with P&O Cruises aboard "The Victoria" and are hoping that we may take the show around the world with P&O in the future.

 

"Goldeneye"

The prospect of the show going to Jamaica to actually be presented in Ian Fleming's house, 'Goldeneye', is still on the horizon with Chris Blackwell, former owner of Island Records and current owner of 'Goldeneye' looking at the show video as you read this.

The possibility of seeing Ian Fleming IN HIS OWN HOUSE - We are surely talking about

"The Ultimate Ian Fleming Experience"!!!
