British Comedy Legend Dr Evadne Hinge to star in Louis Mander's comic opera 'The Dowager's Oyster'.

A legend of British comedy is to come out of retirement in France to appear in a musical romp at Cheltenham Playhouse next year as part of its 75th anniversary celebrations. The Dowager's Oyster is described as a light opera that captures the comic book charades of a 1920s murder mystery farce and at its heart is the return to the stage of Dr Evadne Hinge, one half of the enormously popular double act Hinge and Bracket which entertained audiences with their songs and 'theatrical memories' for 30 years.
