We'll tell you as soon as tickets go on sale:

Paul Nicholas directs and stars in Keeler at the Charing Cross Theatre based on the 2001 autobiography 'The Truth At Last' by Christine Keeler with Douglas Thompson.

Gill Adams’ play, with Christine Keeler's sanction and involvement, reveals the sensational inside story of the infamous Profumo affair - Britain's biggest political sex scandal of the 20th Century. 

 'Gill Adams' script for Keeler is brilliant – she tells it like it was' Christine Keeler

★★★★ 'We can't be sure what really happened, but this dramatisation of the Profumo scandal makes for an admirable – and topical – night of theatre. With Sarah Armstrong in the title role and a superb ensemble, it gets to the heart of the story..... Michael Good makes a wonderfully emotionally stunted Profumo, but it is Paul Nicholas who gives the performance of the night as the seedy Stephen Ward' The Daily Telegraph

'Sarah Armstrong is alluring as Christine Keeler' The Sunday Times

'Sarah Armstrong’s Keeler has a pleasing vulnerability and nervous cheekiness: you wince for her... sleek, patriarchal, patronizing, with a curious sexually ambivalent prurience, Paul Nicholas as Stephen Ward convinces as a man satisfied with himself' Libby Purves

'A good mixture of sex, cabaret and international politics guarantee a very entertaining evening' Everything Theatre

'The set, costumes and lighting are undeniably beautiful and – with a little help from a dulcet 60s soundtrack – effectively captures the atmosphere of shady nightclubs in the Cold War era' Bargain Theatreland

In 1963, John 'Jack' Profumo, the Secretary of State for war, was forced to resign after it was revealed that he had lied to the House about the nature of his relationship with a young showgirl Christine Keeler.  Keeler was also involved with a Russian spy at the same time.  The scandal that followed was partly responsible for the resignation of the Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and the suicide of Stephen Ward, the man who introduced Keeler to Profumo.
