Spike Milligan's Adolf Hitler: My Part In His Downfall
Ben Power and Tim Carroll

Spike Milligan’s celebrated war
memoirs are brought to anarchic life
in this hilarious new stage adaptation.
This epic Everyman’s odyssey through
World War Two, with a cast of
extraordinary characters, charts
Gunner Milligan’s progress from
joining the Royal Artillery through the
North African and Italian campaigns.
And with Spike’s sense of lunacy,
anything can happen along the way!
High comedy and tragedy collide, as
we follow him and his ad hoc jazz
quartet – complete with their famed
comedy routines – adrift on the tide
of great historic events.
Using Milligan’s own words, the story
is told through a joyous fusion of
comedy, jazz, song and dance –
showing how humour, music and
comradeship enabled a hapless and
disparate bunch of young men to
prevail against the might of the Nazi
War Machine.
Caution: Contains barrack room
humour!
