Tommy Cooper was one of the nation's most beloved natural clowns
not to mention a great magician who entertained us right up until
the end.
Jerome Flynn is the actor given the task of bringing Cooper back
to life as the action of Jus' Like That is set around his last televised
performance.
The fez, the laugh, the routines all done 'jus' like that' - not
like that, like that. The play also offers an insight into the man
and the working life of the manic magician.
Jerome Flynn will be best known from his TV roles including Soldier
Soldier but remember two his singing career with Robson Green...
but he is not just a TV actor and his CV includes work at the RSC,
The Royal Court and the Young Vic.
Simon Callow directs, with magic by Geoffrey Durham... It has original
music by Paul Bateman.
