My Beautiful Laundrette


My Beautiful Laundrette, Belgrade Theatre Coventry, 2019.

Cast: Paddy Daly, Kammy Darweish, Hareet Deol, Jonny Fines, Nicole Jebeli, Omar Malik, Balvinder Sopal, Cathy Tyson, Gordon Warnecke.

Writer: Hanif Kureishi
Director: Nikolai Foster

Not the first play of this film I've seen and I doubt it will be the last - something about the subject and when it was made continues to resonate with men of a certain age. But I doubt I'd have travelled to Coventry to see it if Pet Shop Boys hadn't written some songs for it. No idea why they did but it's always nice to hear new things from them. Gordon Warnecke was in the original film, which was a nice connection.
