Betjemania: A musical full of British charm that celebrates the life and work of the eccentric British poet John Betjeman. It is a loving tribute to a man who captured the hearts of the British with his unique mix of humor, sentimentality and social criticism.
The musical delves deep into Betjeman's life and work. It tells of his travels through England, his love stories, his observations of social change and, of course, his famous poems. Not only is his life celebrated, but also the atmosphere of 20th century England is captured.
