Win a copy of A Gentleman's Guide to Motoring - perfect for Father's Day

A Gentlemans_guide_to_motoring

From the writer of The Chap Manifesto comes the ultimate illustrated guide to the art of motoring in exquisite style.

If you’ve ever sat in a fifteen mile tailback on the M25, or contemplated the frightening geometrics of certain roundabouts outside Swindon, you might have concluded that the romance of motoring belongs to yesteryear. But it doesn’t have to be like this.

Just because most contemporary car designs lack aesthetic finesse and the majority of our fellow road users often exhibit behaviour no better than slavering beasts, it doesn’t mean that those of an independent frame of mind, with poetry in their soul and vim in their trousers, shouldn’t take a stab at reclaiming the whole adventure of motoring as the sanctified mission of the gentleman.

‘Murder, Greed, Corruption, Exploitation, Adultery, Treachery…all those things we hold near and dear to our hearts’.

So begins Chicago, one of the most phenomenal musicals of our time.

Creators John Kander, Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse never back off from their bold, yet sinister, promise. Now the longest running Broadway musical to play London's West End, it's no wonder The Times calls it ‘the sharpest, slickest show on the block’.

Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winner Danny DeVito makes his West End debut alongside Olivier and Tony award-winner Richard Griffiths, in a new production of Neil Simon's hilarious, yet moving play The Sunshine Boys.

When CBS call for the vaudevillian greats to be re-united for a nostalgic History of Comedy, past grudges resurface as they take centre stage once more. Ageing ailments aside, can this legendary double-act overcome their differences for one last show?

Old rivalry and vintage hilarity abound in this classic comedy of showbiz and friendship.
