Stage show by the Kray twins' official biographer, Fred Dinenage, revealing stories and recordings from their lives.
The Krays: Ronnie, Reggie and Me comes to The Arts Centre on Tuesday 17 November, a live show that looks at the lives of Ronnie and Reggie Kray from the inside. It's told by Fred Dinenage, the twins' official biographer, who was one of the few people they ever let into their inner circle.
Most of us know the broad strokes of the Kray story. In 1969, both brothers were given life sentences at the Old Bailey. Reggie spent decades in some of the country's toughest prisons, while Ronnie became a patient at Broadmoor, where he was kept under control with massive doses of drugs. Dinenage was the man the twins chose to tell their official story, and because he got so close to them, he saw things that didn't make it into the public record.
On stage, he shares stories and situations that have never been told publicly before. One of the most striking parts of the show is the recordings he made while visiting Ronnie at Broadmoor, so you'll hear the twins' own voices rather than just a retelling of what they said. It's that first-hand access that sets this apart from the usual Kray documentaries.

There are a few practical things to keep in mind before you book. The show is recommended for ages 16 and over because of occasional profanity. It runs in two halves: the first is 60 minutes, followed by a 20-minute interval, and then a second half of 50 minutes. That's two hours on stage in total, with the interval giving you a bit of a breather in the middle. You can find tickets over at Trafalgar Tickets.
