The Sunday Times Humour Book of the Year Adapted for The Stage.
Roger Mortimer's often hilarious, sometimes touching, always generous letters to his son, Charlie, are packed with crisp anecdotes and sharp observations. The trials and tribulations of Charlie's youth and adulthood are received by his father with both humour and resignation. Spanning twenty-five years, their correspondence forms a memoir of their relationship, an affectionate portrait of a time gone by.
Father and son James Fox and Jack Fox will star in this new stage adaptation by best-selling author Michael Simkins, in which he uncovers many more undocumented stories of Charlie's wayward life and his relationship with his father.

What a lovely, poignant, funny and charming show, made all the more so by father and son James and Jack Fox playing father and son Roger and Charlie 'Lupin' Mortimer. Such excellent performances by both: James so funny playing various roles and Jack's gradual realisation of their loving bond. 'We felt the love!' Excellent transition from book to stage. Sadly, that was the final performance but surely a revival calls? More please!
Charming! Full of laughter of all kinds: knowing, surprising, and moving. You don't need to have read the book to enjoy the play either, but if you haven't I encourage you to buy a copy which conveniently is for sale in the foyer!
A very gentle comedy with a little pathos performed brilliantly. A very enjoyable evening.
Loved it - everything and more than your adverts intimated. Wonderful acting the audience was enthralled. My husband raved about it all the way home on the train to the Cogtswolds.
A delicately-nuanced, affectionate portrait of father-son relations played by one of our greatest actors and his real-life son (who isn't bad, either!).
Well related with good humour timing
Very enjoyable. Funny but with moments of sadness & reflection.
it was a pity there weren't more of the letters read out instead of too much descriptive dialogue
excellent performance and chemistry of father and son great. use of stage and hats very clever. really recommend this.
I enjoyed "Dear Lupin"! Very good show!

Review: Dear Lupin At The Apollo Theatre
Real life father and son James and Jack Fox star as Roger Mortimer and his son Charlie — aka the Lupin of the title — in this comedy adapted by Michael Simkins from the bestselling book, which consists of letters sent by Roger to Charlie over a period of years between 1967 and 1991 as the son and heir went increasingly off the rails.
