Bellevue Hotel – welcome to the House of Fun!
It’s set around a dilapidated, theatrical boarding house, and tells the story of the landlady’s battle with a gangster boss who’s taken over the ice cream premises next door.
The gangster wants to buy her out, and gets nasty when she refuses. But her theatrical guests have some useful talents to deploy, and together they do battle with her nasty neighbour and his Demolition Men!
With live piano music, silent comedy, a touch of magic and some hair-raising action, Bellevue Hotel is performed in the inimitable, non-verbal, comic style for which Bash Street Theatre has become renowned.
The show features a two-storey hotel and balcony alongside the chimney of the ice cream factory. This provides several different levels on which the story unfolds, and where the Demolition Men wreak havoc in a dramatic finale.
