Olivier-nominated, Blue Peter star Peter Duncan is to star in Katie Duncan's play The Dame at the Park Theatre, London in January 2019.

Blue Peter star Peter Duncan brings Katie Duncan's The Dame to the Park Theatre in January 2019.

A lost world of seaside entertainment, piers and promenades are brought to life when seasoned Pantomime Dame Ronald Roy Humphrey returns to his Northern roots for the Christmas season. As the curtain falls on the last show of the day,  Roy is in a wistful, melancholic mood, but as the years fall away, ghosts and memories from the past confront him with what he has spent his whole life trying to forget.

The Dame takes us on a journey inside an entertainer’s mind to expose the fragile creature beneath the make-up, bluster and bravado. However many masks we wear; the truth will always be revealed.

Interestingly, Peter produces and directs many pantomimes and has worked extensively for children’s theatre. He often appears in panto too playing the hero, the funnyman or the baddie but not as yet the dame.

The Dame by Katie Duncan, directed by Award-winning Ian Talbot, transfers to the Park Theatre, London, from Wednesday 2 January 2019  to Saturday 26 January 2019 after an acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe.
