Edward Fox

John Betjeman was one of the nation’s favourite poets. Sand in the Sandwiches celebrates a man famous not only for his lyrical wit and humour, but for his passions, his sense of purpose and his unforgettable poetry. Edward Fox stars in this brand new stage play, bringing Betjeman’s poetry and his vivacious personality to life.

From boyhood, through adolescence, to life as Britain’s Poet Laureate, this show presents a hugely entertaining insight into the world of this much-loved irreverent writer.

Double BAFTA Award-winner Edward Fox is one of this country’s most eminent actors. His distinguished career includes iconic British films such as The Day of the Jackal, A Bridge Too Far and ‘Oh! What a Lovely War’.

This sparkling show is written by the Emmy Awardwinning writer Hugh Whitemore, whose celebrated works for the stage and screen include Stevie, Pack of Lies and Breaking the Code. This Oxford Playhouse co-production comes to the Playhouse stage prior to a national tour.
