Theatre-goers are being invited to join special agent Dick Barton this December in the Wilmslow Green Room production of Dick Barton and the Curse of the Pharaoh’s Tomb.
Their 2025/2026 season on Chapel Lane continues with Phil Willmott’s fast-paced detective thriller musical, directed by Celia Bonner.
The play, based on the post-war radio detective series broadcast by the BBC between 1946 and 1951, follows intrepid super-sleuth Dick Barton as he returns to London from Egypt with the body of his arch enemy Marta Heartburn.
He took a cursed sapphire – removed from the tomb of the Pharaoh Ahkan Rah – from her, and she is not happy.
Marta is reincarnated as the ancient Queen Nefatartie, and Dick Barton and his assistants – Snowy and Jock – must muster all their ingenuity if they are to rescue Barton’s old school friends, Piggy and Swanker, and break the curse.
The play runs 1st – 6th December 2025, with evening performances at 7.45pm and a matinee at 2pm on Saturday 6th December.
Tickets are available via the box office on Saturday mornings (11am-midday) at the Green Room Theatre on Chapel Lane in Wilmslow or via the Green Room website: www.ticketsource.co.uk/greenroom
