The Courtyard, 40 Pitfield Street, Hoxton and Shoreditch, N1 6EU

Theatre: Musicals

How Much: £15.00 (Tickets) , £12.00 (Concessions)
Highly praised at the Edinburgh fringe, this two-handed tribute to Ian Dury arrives at the Courtyard over Christmas, providing a festive slice of fun for lovers of new wave punk rock.

Hit Me! takes the form of three conversations between the affable, hedonistic Dury and his roadie/minder/confidant Spider, beautifully played by Jud Charlton and Josh Darcy. The show also features live performances of seven of his best loved tracks.

This is a loving homage, not a serious biographical investigation of the man, but it does fill in details about a wonderful, flawed life and the motivations behind the music, the drugs and the TV voice-over work.

Great fun, completely involving and pretty much a must for serious fans of the man.
