Fred Dinenage, the TV presenter the Krays trusted, brings to the stage the story of their lives as told by the twins themselves.
Fred Dinenage brings Ronnie Reggie and Me to the Scarborough Spa Theatre on Thursday 30 September 2027, starting at 7.30pm. It's a West End musical tribute to the lives of Ronnie and Reggie Kray, Britain's most notorious gangsters, and the whole thing is hosted by broadcaster Alex Dyke.
The show has a bit of a claim to it: it was written by the twins themselves, and they chose Dinenage to tell their official story. He became one of the very few people ever granted access to their inner circle, and he spent time with them when almost no one else was getting near. Now he's taking those accounts live on stage, sharing untold stories and rare moments from the inside. Among them are recordings he made during his visits to Ronnie at Broadmoor, so you'll hear the real voice of one of the brothers rather than just a retelling of what he said.
For context, the Krays ruled the London underworld until they were both sentenced to life imprisonment at the Old Bailey in 1969. Reggie went to prison, and Ronnie went to Broadmoor, the high-security psychiatric hospital. Dinenage is introduced as the only man the brothers trusted, and the show is billed as the definitive insight into their real lives, the ones that sat behind the headlines.
