Jimmy
By Adam Riches, Directed by Tom Parry
The biggest comeback in sport just got bigger, as the 1991 US Open comes to Park200!
In 1974 Jimmy Connors was the greatest tennis player on the planet.
In 1991 he’s getting annihilated at the US Open by his arch-nemesis’ little brother.
What happened next was one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history, when Jimmy, fuelled by ghosts of his turbulent past, winds back the clock to remind the world what happens when you rattle the cage of a geriatric tiger, one last time.
Adam Riches brings his critically acclaimed, smash hit one-man show back to Park Theatre as it transfers from Park90 to Park200, following a totally sold-out run in July.
Directed by Tom Parry (Don Rodolfo; Adam Riches and John Kearns are Ball & Boe), Jimmy is a fast-paced, funny and intensely physical ride, deep inside the mind of an ageing, swaggering alpha.
Don’t miss your chance to catch all the courtside action one last time!
Tigco in association with Park Theatre.
