ALLEGRA

UK Tour 2026
Show Website

Thomas Hopkins Productions and SAMS Entertainment are delighted to announce that national treasure Dame Maureen Lipman will tour the UK for the first time in 20 years, opening at Theatre Royal Brighton in the week she celebrates her 80th birthday.

Dame Maureen Lipman will star in the world premiere of Allegra, a new comedy by Tony Award and double Olivier Award nominated playwright Peter Quilter. Following her acclaimed performance in Rose in the West End in 2023, Dame Maureen now leads this joyful heart-warming comedy on her first major UK tour in many years.

Allegra is a moving comedy with spectacular song and dance sequences, but is also a touching and emotional examination of how, sometimes, the most beautiful of minds can start to disappear.

“To find a comedy which can turn our current face of gloom into an upturned grin of happiness, is rare. Allegra is about a woman who is relentlessly upbeat - in more ways than one. Ibsen it isn’t’’Maureen Lipman DBE
