'Our George' is based on David Bret's controversial, best-selling biography, 'George Formby: A Troubled Genius'. It presents a no-holds-barred but affectionate story of the legendary British entertainer-he of the toothy grin, ukulele, and catchy but risque songs-a man whose life was dominated firstly by a cantankerous, copiously vulgar mother, then by grasping siblings and a frequently overbearing and domineering wife, yet without whose nagging and shrewd business sense he would never have made it to the top. The play presents George Formby as an equally difficult but loving, womanising troubled genius, a man with an innate charisma who suffered for his art, and who only found true love when it was too late. 'Our Annie's Funeral' is David Bret's humerous take on his grandmother's funeral, as seen through the eyes of her eccentric sister, Kate.
