About this event

The story of an ordinary man who lived through extraordinary times told with love, laughter and song.

By Arthur Smith with live music from Kirsty Newton. Directed by Kevin Day.

Syd Smith fought at El Alamein, became a POW and ended the war in the notorious Colditz Castle in Germany. In the 1950s, PC Syd patrolled London’s South Bank and met a gallery of characters whom he tried his best not to arrest. Arthur tells this 20th-century story with laughter, music, reflections and a hilarious photo.

Ages: 16+

‘A touching and funny tribute to Arthur Smith’s own father. Beautiful.’ Young Perspective
***** The Times ‘Critic’s Choice: Top Comedy Pick’ and The List ‘Top Tip’ show.
‘AN HOUR OF NOSTALGIA AND SONG THAT WILL LEAVE YOU MOVED.’ Broadway Baby.

This is part of the Edinburgh Fringe Digital Showcase. You can view this performance at home, at a live stream screening at AMATA or watch the performance live at AMATA (more information coming soon).
