This new episode takes Dick back
to his early days travelling from stiff upper lip 1930s Britain to Australia via
Arabia
trying to unravel the decipher and foil another evil plot.
A legendary
tweed suit promises its wearer ultimate power.
Dick must scour the globe to
reunite the pieces of the mysterious suit, to stop it falling into the wrong hands
-
and to win the girl of his dreams. With non-stop action The Devil Wears
Tweed features new songs,
brings back favourite characters and introduces
familiar faces from the past -
from Hollywood's Irving Berlin to cricket hero
Don Bradman.
"An
energetic and talented cast tell this tale of derring-do with great aplomb.
As well as delivering virtuoso comic performances, they also sing with vigour,
and even double up as the band for the musical numbers - such dashed good fun!'
