Synopsis

Bill Snibson, a Lambeth costermonger, is revealed to be the new Earl of Hareford and his newly discovered aristocratic relations are horrified. Bringing him to Hareford Hall, they attempt to educate Bill into the ways of the gentry and to separate him from his cockney girlfriend Sally. The result is chaos of the most comical kind. With a host of hilarious characters, witty one liners and several toe tapping, uplifting songs including the famous Lambeth Walk, The Sun Has Got His Hat On and Leaning On A Lamp Post, Me and My Girl is a sublime and sunny treat for all fans of musical comedy.

Were you in it?

We would like to know more about Me and My Girl.

The record for this production is thinner than the show deserves. If you were in it, or you were in the audience, you may have something the archive does not.

Programmes, photographs, cuttings from the local paper, a cast list in somebody’s handwriting: all of it helps, and we will add it here.
