Cleo, Camping, Emmanuelle and Dick
1998 play written by Terry Johnson
Cleo, Camping, Emmanuelle and Dick is a 1998 play written by the English dramatist Terry Johnson, who also directed the original production at the National Theatre.
The play is about the off-screen love affair between Carry On film stalwarts, Barbara Windsor and Sid James.
The comedy also portrays the filming of the "Carry On" series as a less than glamorous affair, characterised by leaking caravans, inadequate pay and argumentative co-stars.
Most of the play's action takes place on rain-soaked locations with a scantily clad Barbara taking refuge in Sid's trailer while he and co-star Kenneth Williams carry on their notorious feud, which began when they starred together in the TV series Hancock's Half Hour.[1][2]
In 2000, Johnson adapted the play for television as Cor, Blimey!.[3]
