BALMORAL
Starring RIK MAYALL

By Michael Frayn

The royal residence of Balmoral, 1937. The Revolution of 1917 did not happen in Russia, but in Britain, and Balmoral has now become a writers’ commune. To the consternation of the warden, Skinner, whose responsibility it is to keep the recalcitrant writers writing and chaos in check, a government inspector is about to call…

The part of Skinner is the one Rik Mayall was born to play. His many anarchic TV comedy roles include The Young Ones, Bottom, The New Statesman and The Comic Strip; films roles include Drop Dead Fred and Bring Me the Head of Mavis Davis.
