Twenty-SixJune, the Embassy Theatre – Skegness, Lincolnshire
'Why won't you ever talk to me? Why don't you answer? For crying out like, woman, I'd get more conversation from a f*****g tailor's dummy, waddy you call 'em. Mannequins, aye, mannequins.'
THE LINE STRETCHES FROM THE GLASS FRONTAGE of the Embassy Theatre, around the curved wall of 'The Litten Tree' pub and along the sea front down Grand Parade. There is an excited buzz about the crowd as they press forward, anxious to get to their seats, avid for their first glimpse of the guillotine and the beheading of Selene.
The billboard for the tour now reads:

Billy Boy Boston

'The devil's guillotine'
