It’s tough humour, not always politically correct nor consistently hilarious. All aspects of their personal lives and careers are ammunition. On-set misdemeanours, past scuffles, sexual escapades - everything.

Their punches are ruthless and the piece is deliciously self-referential, though its real strength is its unexploited dark side.

What did our critic think of JERSEY BOYS at The Gateway Playhouse?

Subversive and riveting, David Ives's clever adaptation of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's novella titillates and shocks, delving into mythology while blurring the line between the divine and the pedestrian.
