It's not the big Hollywood offer David Farrier was wanting, but the Kiwi journalist admits "beggars can't be choosers" following news his documentary about competitive endurance tickling was being made into a musical.
Tickle, billed as "a new adult musical comedy" adapted from Farrier's 2016 documentary Tickled, will open at London's King's Head Theatre in October.
According to Britishtheatre.com, director Robert McWhir's production "is very loosely based on the weird, wonderful and unbelievable documentary Tickled."
Four actors – Richard Watkins, Amy Sutton, James McDowall, and Ben Brooker - have reportedly signed on to star in the musical at the off-West End pub theatre - located in the humble surrounds of the back room behind the bar.
