Two major productions are being staged by members of Bridlington’s Spotlight Theatre.
A Farce, by definition means – ‘A dramatic work meant to cause laughter by presenting ludicrously improbable events’…and thats exactly what happens in No Sex Please We’re British.
The misinterpretation leads to confusion, chaos and mayhem, which is just what an audience loves to see. Peter and Frances have been married for three weeks and are living in the flat above the bank where Peter is the manager.
But Frances would like a house of their own so she sends for tableware samples from a Scandinavian company to sell from home and so they can earn money towards the new house.
However, the package which arrives from the Scandinavian Import Company is not the tableware she is expecting but packets of very dodgy pictures. Peter mixes up the cheque for the package with one for a much larger amount for an electrical company… and so the confusion begins.
The Scandinavian company receive the larger cheque and so continue to send more of their specialist goods.
As you can imagine mayhem ensues.
Rita, Sue and Bob Too!
Join Ginger Free Productions in Thatcher’s 1982 Britain when unemployment figures hit 3 million for the first time and Dexy’s Midnight Runners iconic hit Come on Eileen was number one for the whole of August.
Set in Bradford, West Yorkshire, best friends Rita and Sue get a lift home from married Bob after babysitting his kids, and the three start a fling that each thinks that they can control.
Told with wicked humour and a great ear for dialogue, Andrea Dunbar’s semi-autobiographical play is a vivid portrait of girls caught between brutal childhood and an uncompromising future, both hungry for adult adventure.
Both shows are showings to over 18’s only. Book now via the Spotlight Theatre website, alternatively call 01262 678258 or book in person at The Spa, Bridlington. Adults £12.00.
