Running for a limited season early last summer, the play won glowing reviews, and its West End production will feature A-list comedy stars, guest-appearing for one week each in the leading role of Pip. It told of Sir Philip 'Pip' Bin, inventor of the bin, his sisters, and friend Harry Biscuit, as they fought to escape the clutches of evil and ironically-named guardian Mr Gently Benevolent. The Dickensian pastiche originally ran on BBC Radio 4 for five series from 2007, starring Tom Allen, Anthony Head, Richard Johnson, James Bachman, Susy Kane and Sarah Hadland. Having debuted at the Watermill Theatre in Berkshire last year, the comedy by Mark Evans will take up residence at the Criterion Theatre on Piccadilly Circus in the centre of the capital, running between 3rd May and 3rd September. A stage version of hit radio sitcom Bleak Expectations will run in the West End this summer. ![]()
