One Night Only

Howerd’s End

BY MARK FARRELLY.

DIRECTED BY JOE HARMSTON.

23 July 2023

Overview

“Can you imagine being terrified of your own happiness? You can? Then let’s begin…”

Frankie Howerd was one of Britain’s most loved comedians for half a century. But he had a secret. And the secret’s name was Dennis. Howerd’s innovative, stumbling, and non-conformist style earned him a legacy of “one of Britain’s best-loved comedians.”

Mark Farrelly explores not only the development of Howerd onstage, but the offstage love story of the comic and Dennis Heymer – friends and lovers that tried to overcome all odds for forty-years.
