About RolePlay

Our middle play returns to the master himself, Alan Ayckbourn, with a quite different comedy.  Originally part of the trilogy ‘Damsels in Distress’ this very funny play stands on its own.

Justin and Julie-Ann, hopelessly mismatched in love, are about to introduce their respective parents to each other over dinner – Justin’s upper-crust alcoholic mother and Julie-Ann’s bigoted father and prim mother. Into this doomed scenario drops, quite literally, via the balcony upstairs, Paige Petite, a former lap dancer and her thick gun-toting minder employed by her gangster boyfriend leading to a hilarious clash of cultures and families.

Directed by Jayne Hewson

Cast includes:  Tom Fryer, Wendy Fairburn, Nic Johnson, Steve Howland, Dianne Turner, Gill Collins and introducing  Gary Vann.

Our first play is already in rehearsal.   Here’s a little bit about it…

GENERATIONS APART  by Peter Gordon

October 26th, 27th, 28th 2017

We start our season with a lovely warm-humoured and sentimental comedy from the always popular Peter Gordon.

Having met Anne at the 1969 Isle of Wight music festival, Paul decides to run off with her to a mainland commune, leaving behind his conservative life on the island. However when his family circumstances change, he is forced to rethink his options. Many years later, a chance encounter with Anne’s daughter leads Paul back in to the past. A must for all who remember the heady days of the hippy!

Directed by Richard Bateman

Cast includes:  Steve Howland, Tom Fryer, Rachel Miller, Jayne Hewson, Wyn Price, Janet Drewery

Xmas is (almost) upon us…

Still looking for that last minute Christmas present?  A value for money bargain? Something with a strong Christmas flavour? For your partner, friends, or just to treat yourself?

Ah, you guessed, didn’t you?  Yes it’s tickets for ‘A Kick In The Baubles’.    We know you are busy this week getting ready for that festive period just days away but if you have a moment it’s not a bad idea to book your tickets now.  Sales are going very well and we are ahead of our usual position with half of all seats already sold for every night – so if you want to get a good seat in your preferred rows then booking now is essential.

Meanwhile rehearsals have been continuing apace and we will fit in some work over the festive break to maintain momentum.  It’s now that our publicity starts to kick in.  We already have our posters ready for distribution and today we have been listed in the Hull City of Culture 2017 Events – click here to view our full listing.

Now it may be optimistic to think that we will get the same response as Richard Bean’s ‘The Hypocrite’ from it – or to crash the servers as with the ‘In With a Bang’ fireworks display – but you never know 😉
