THE LAST LAUGH Prior to London's West End In this hilarious and moving satire, Martin Freeman (best known for his role as the laconic, love-sick Tim in The Office) plays a beleaguered comedy troupe writer who, obliged by law to submit his latest script for government approval, has to go toe-to-toe with a newly appointed hard-nosed government censor, played by Roger Lloyd Pack (Only Fools and Horses and The Vicar of Dibley).

As he diligently attempts to rework his play, incorporating the censor's multitudinous and unconventional edits, the most unlikely partnership starts to flourish and the men become engaged in a 'conspiracy of two', crafting the funniest play they can imagine, whilst the spectre of the outside world threatens to destroy everything...

This is a new comedy written by Richard Harris, whose theatrical and TV successes have included Outside Edge, Stepping Out, Dead Guilty and A Touch of Frost.

The Last Laugh runs from Monday - Saturday, February 5-10 at the Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham.
