REAL-LIFE STORY TO TELL

HARRY Potter actor, double bassist and comedian Jim Tavare was involved in a near fatal head-on car crash in Los Angeles two years ago.

He broke over 30 bones, including 15 broken ribs, a broken neck and a hand that detached from the wrist.

But he lived to tell the tale and his new tour, From Deadpan To Bedpan, tells how a quick trip to the shops changed his life forever.

The tour runs until June 1. Details from jimtavare.org.

MANGAN’S THE MAN IN WHITE

STEPHEN Mangan and Kara Tointon are to return to the West End to star in the world stage premiere of classic Ealing film comedy The Man In The White Suit.

Alec Guinness starred in the classic 1951 movie about man who invents an amazing material that never gets dirty or wears out.

The new production runs at Wyndham’s Theatre from September 25 to January 11.
