WITH the Rugby World Cup 2015 still in action, Cirencester’s Sundial Theatre is getting in on the action on Wednesday, October 14 with Live Wire Theatre’s Stage production Hands Up For Jonny Wilkinson’s Right Boot.

The production stars Giles Coram - who is fresh from playing Christopher Wren in The Mousetrap at St Martin's Theatre in the West End.

It is the Rugby World Cup 2015 and three ardent rugby fans find themselves arguing as to which is the greatest moment in the game's history: Francois Piennaar receiving the World Cup from Nelson Mandela in 1997, Jonah Lomu's four astonishing tries for New Zealand against England in the same year, or Jonny Wilkinson's dramatic last minute drop goal in the 2003 World Cup Final.

Disagreements are put on hold when a mysterious stranger arrives and offers options involving Frederick Stanley Jackson - a Cornish tin miner who had been on the first ever British Lions tour to New Zealand in 1908.

As the tale of Jackson's extraordinary life unfolds Hands Up for Jonny Wilkinson's Right Boot travels back and forth from the present day to the early 1900's via such moments as Cornwall's County Championship victory of 1908, South Africa's emotional World Cup victory on home soil in 1997 and England's last minute win in Australia in 2003.

In this fast paced comedy, incorporating song, physical theatre and a re-enactment of the All-Blacks' legendary Haka, the four actors swap roles at breakneck speed to bring some of rugby's greatest players to life, including Jonny Wilkinson dropping that famous World Cup winning goal with his right boot.

Full of dramatic twists and turns Hands Up for Jonny Wilkinson's Right Boot is a play aimed at all audiences.

For your chance to vote for the greatest moment ever and to discover why a player as great as Frederick Jackson almost disappeared from the pages of rugby history, book tickets now for Live Wire Theatre's new show.
