Could it be done? Or had Father Time decided that his time had passed? \n\n\n\nSomewhere in a parallel universe\, little Alfie’s natural comedic performance skills were recognised by his doting parents\, who encouraged and developed his blossoming talent. After several years as a stage school brat\, Alfie’s angelic face was launched on stage and screen\, and the rest is history. \n\n\n\nMeanwhile\, in this universe\, Alfie Moore was told to stop messing about in class before being ‘encouraged’ into the grinding\, grimy world of an apprenticeship in the Sheffield steelworks. When the recession hit\, he traded steel for copper by joining Humberside Police. \n\n\n\nThirty years of shift work\, initially in the Sheffield steelworks and then as a copper on the beat (where he was punched in the face quite a lot)\, has left him with “a face for radio”. A face is not so much ‘lived in’ as inhabited by a settlement of squatters with little regard to property maintenance and repair. \n\n\n\nIn his 40s\, a surprising career shift turned middle-aged Alfie from street cop to BBC radio star. But when TV fame beckoned\, could he grasp it\, or was he past it? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReviews\n\n\n\n\n“…offbeat\, revealing and very funny.” \nYou Magazine\n\n\n\n\n“…thoroughly engaging\, endlessly funny.” \nMature Times\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nAge guidance: 14+ \n\n\n\nDuration: 120 minutes\, including an interval \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Oxford Playhouse\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nOxford Playhouse and its Burton Taylor Studio present and produce several live performances and feature a rich array of British and international dramas\, family entertainment\, contemporary dance and music\, student and amateur shows\, comedy\, lectures and poetry. \n\n\n\nThe Playhouse not only produces and tours its own theatrical productions\, but it also fosters creativity through its Artists in Residence program and the Playhouse Plays Out series\, which brings unique events to various locations across the county. \n\n\n\nThe theatre’s Participation Team engages over 15\,000 individuals annually\, offering an extensive range of activities\, including post-show discussions\, workshops\, work experience opportunities\, holiday programs\, a youth theatre\, and a company for young performers. \n\n\n\nOxford Playhouse stands dedicated to its mission of being a Playhouse for all\, striving to ignite inspiration and bring about transformative experiences through its commitment to creativity on its stages\, within its community and online. \n\n\n\nDiscover more about Oxford Playhouse\, including travel\, access and venue information.
