Listen to the Knocking Bird
A ‘political pantomime’, loosely based on Aristophanes’ THE KNIGHTS, timed to coincide with the 1964 General Election.
Review: ‘Thrashing Around at Everything’, The Stage 8th October 1964 (page 14)… “the two and three-quarter hour show contains material for about two and three-quarter revue sketches.”
The Running Sores were the pop group within the show.
