IT’S A PROGRAMME OF ALL HULL BASED PLAYS THIS SEASON…..

COMIMG THIS NOVEMBER : LADIES’ DAY by Amanda Whittington

---

Ladies’ Day follows four fish factory workers from Hull—Pearl, Jan, Shelley, and Linda—whose daily lives are an unfulfilling grind. It is 2005 and to celebrate Pearl’s upcoming retirement, they ditch their hairnets for glamorous outfits and head out for a day at York Racecourse in the year Royal Ascot was held there.  As the champagne flows, personal secrets begin to unravel, exposing their hidden heartbreaks and dreams.

We are looking forward to bringing this popular comedy-drama back  to the stage, 19 years after our first run back in 2008. 

Directed by Steve Howland and performed by Janet Drewery, Nic Johnson, Wendy Salter, Sally Morland, Rob Newton and Steve Howland.

COMIMG MAY 2027 : TO HAVE AND TO HOLD by Richard Bean

---

A sharp, funny and bittersweet comedy-drama about an elderly couple and the chaos that ensues when their adult children descend to get their affairs in order.

After sixty years of marriage, happily settled into their retirement village in Wetwang, ex-cop Jack and his wife Florence have elevated bickering almost to the status of high art.  That said, they’re otherwise getting along fine with the support of a nearby niece and the hilarious interventions of the man known locally as ‘Rhubarb Eddie’. 

But will their anxious son, shuttling between London and LA, and their errant daughter, contemplating a move to Australia, leave them to live out their days in peace?

Directed by Janet Drewery and performed by Gill Collins, Steve Howland, Gary Vann, Dianne Turner, Lee Kelly and Janet Lamb.
