Michael Caine and Jude Law may have made Alfie a phenomenon on the big screen, but it was on the stage that the character first became known.

Next week Blackeyed Theatre Company bring that character back to life with their brand new production of the Bill Naughton classic.

Alfie is a young man with an overwhelming desire for the ladies.

There's Ruby, described by Alfie as a lust box in beautiful condition, and Siddie, and Lily, and Annie, but who's counting? Certainly not Alfie.

Three in one evening if necessary - and necessary is the right word!

Live 60s music, including Great Balls of Fire and Everyday, is performed throughout the comedy as it tells the story of a cockney Don Juan who swaggers and philosophises his way from conquest to conquest, carefully rejecting anyone or anything that might touch him too deeply.

Alfie, Fairfield Halls, Park Lane, April 26 and 27, 7.45pm, £14. Call 020 8688 9291 or visit fairfield.co.uk.
