Town's FA Cup glory


REVIEW: “And Did Those Feet”, at the Octagon Theatre,

' ■ . Former artistic direc- ,tor, Mark Babych returns to the Bolton Octagon to direct a revival of a production of “And Did Those Feet”. He directed the world


premiere of this play in 2007. The plot tells the story of the famous FA cup final o f 1923 when Bolton Wanderers played West Ham in the first ever final at Wembley Stadium with its iconic twin towers. I have to confess I have little knowledge and even less interest in football. I was raised in a rugby playing family. However I found myself drawn in and captivated by this play by Les Smith and Martin ITiomasson. It is a pleasurable


evening of nostalgia and humour with a great feel­ good factor. All the Bol­ ton references delight the home audience, but^even the visitors can enjoy the wittyscript. The story of Bolton’s


triumph is told through the experiences of four men. Bob the endear­ ing comic turn (Martin Barrass)), brothers Ted (Mark Letheren) and Jim (Curtis Cole), and Alf (Huw Higginson). Jim is an avowed com­


munist who loses his job. Ted is planning his wed­ ding to Martha (Naomi Radcliffe). Alf, despite the pleas of his wife Hil­ da (Susan Twist), can­ not bear to watch the team since the death of his son Billy (Chris Finch) in the War. . Billy appears as a ghost inspiring his
