Previous Winter Tour: Around the World in 80 Days

the extraordinary tale of

Colonel Cody

wildwest showman and hero of the skies

by James Barry with music by Mark Helyar

Take a pinch of Buffalo Bill, a dash of Barnum, a generous dollop of Baron Munchausen and who do you get? Colonel Cody – daredevil, cowboy, wild west showman and the first man to fly an aeroplane in the UK.

But don't take our word for it - let the Colonel tell you this amazing true story himself. Chock full of amazing stunts and unbelievable feats, original songs and lots of fun, Colonel Cody's crazy adventures will have the whole family on the edge of their seats!

It will be touring to village halls and arts centres throughout the South from November 2003 to January 2004. To view performances in your area click here.
