KEELEY:UNITED
 Anonymous asked: "Loads of articles on Keeley's look for her new play. Come on Jenni put things behind you and post for the fans and turn off the anons concentrate on posting and supporting Keeley's career."

I saw the articles earlier, I have now uploaded one…but unfortunately I do work all day so I don’t actually get time during the day to upload things to here…I don’t get the time until I am home from work and sorted.


Photos and interview from the London Evening Standard today:

Between them, they have played countless roles, but Lee Evans, Sheila Hancock and Keeley Hawes are pictured here as never seen before.

The trio have been given a makeover in the style of The Only Way Is Essex for a new West End comedy, Barking In Essex, in which they play members of a dysfunctional crime family.

Hawes, 37, who played the rather more conservatively dressed Lady Agnes Holland in BBC1’s Upstairs Downstairs, will don a skintight, bright pink mini-dress with green stilettos for her role as perma-tanned Chrissie Packer.

The farce by the late Clive Exton, the writer of television series Poirot, Jeeves and Wooster and Rosemary & Thyme, will open at the Wyndham’s Theatre in Charing Cross Road in September and also stars Montserrat Lombard and Karl Johnson.

Hawes joked that the role has given her an excuse to watch the ITV reality show The Only Way Is Essex.

“I’m thrilled to be stepping into the incredibly high heels of my character Chrissie,” she said.

“I’m looking forward to working with Sheila, Lee, Montserrat and Karl, and performing at the Wyndham’s, which is such a beautiful theatre. I now even have a great excuse to watch Towie. All in the name of research, obviously…”

Hawes plays the wife of comedian Evans, 49, whose character is the hapless criminal Darnley, just released after seven years in prison.

Hancock, 80, plays the family’s matriarch Emmie, who presides over the family as Darnley tries to spend the £3.5 million fortune he had stashed away before going behind bars.

She said: “I wanted to do this play mainly because I think/hope it is outrageously funny. My part is an awful woman, with no redeeming features. I’ll enjoy that.”

Evans said: “London offers the best theatre in the world. It’s great to be coming back to the West End in a comedy about a ludicrously dysfunctional family getting themselves into all manner of trouble — let’s face it, that’s probably why it’s got me in it.

“The fun is seeing how they get themselves out of the chaos they create. It’s sort of Ab Fab meets The Sopranos.

“I’m really looking forward to working with Sheila, Keeley, Karl and Montse — we’re going to have such a laugh in rehearsals.”

The play, which is being directed by Harry Burton, will premiere at Wyndham’s on September 16, following previews from September 6.


Sorry this page has been absent over the past few days but this is down to some very unkind and hurtful messages that have been sent to this account by people anonymously. This page was set up by a few people and only works because between us we try and post about any Keeley news we can. So when we receive these sort of nasty messages it is upsetting to us all and none of us are happy about this. Therefore unfortunately we have had to turn off anonymous messaging and we will also have to stop posting for a while which would be at a disadvantage to you guys.

Well…let me just say that this IS Jenni replying to this so thanks a bunch! I was ASKED to take over…I didn’t suggest me at all…I was asked and although I don’t think I have a lot I can add differently I said I would give it a go. No one is asking you to follow me or any of the sites. Yes I am allowed to have more than one twitter…that was made because of receiving vile tweets on my other account. What is that to you?
