A play paying tribute to comedy legends Peter Cook and Dudley Moore is one of the highlights of an online Fringe Theatre festival this week.

The play is written by Jonathan Hansler and Clive Greenwood. Hansler plays Cook and Kev Orkian plays Dudley Moore. It is directed by Vadim Jean.

It runs from April 27 to May 3 and will be free to view - though you can make donations.
