With an ironic name like 'Sign of the Times' (the story's about a sign-writer), a further irony befalls the show currently running at the Duchess Theatre, meaning that it will finish almost two months early - the reason presumably being... wait for it... a sign of the (economic) times.

Starring ex "Stars in their Eyes" host Matthew Kelly, Tim Firth's (Calendar Girls, Our House the Musical etc) show concerns Frank, a sign-writer who has thirty years experience in erecting IKEA signs, and his move to a smaller typeface: writing crime thrillers.

Despite his efforts, Frank is resigned to accepting that his efforts will go unrewarded and unnoticed - until one day, a normal day at work starts to mirror the adventures, explosions and death-defying rescues in his thrilling stories. Does he live happily ever after? You'll have to go and see the play to find out! Gerard Kearns (Shameless) also stars.
