This hilarious and relatable comedy is brought to life by an all female cast and sees 4 middle aged women face the challenges of life. They do this whilst trying to find their way out of the wilderness as creatively as they can. Billed as ‘The Office meets Lord of the Flies meets Miranda’ this is one comedy you don’t want to miss this October.
Bonfire night and Sheila, Denise, Julie, and Fay are Team C in Pennine Mineral Water Ltd.’s annual outward bound team-building weekend. Somehow, Marketing Manager Sheila has been nominated team leader and has unwittingly stranded her team on an island in the Lake District.
Our intrepid heroines find themselves manufacturing weapons from cable ties and spatulas, and create a rescue flag with plastic plates and a toasting fork.
Questions are asked; truths are told; dirty washing is aired. Is it possible to build an adequate night shelter with a prom dress and a sleeveless jumper? What is Julie’s husband really up to in Aldi? And most importantly, can Sheila keep tempers from fraying, nails from breaking and get her band of top level executives safely back to shore?
Written by award winning writer Tim Firth, this relatable play is sure to have audiences in stiches!
The fantastic cast consist of Dru Stephenson as Denise, Kaz Luckins as Julie, Sarah Ratheram as Fay and Susan Graham as Sheila
This is an Old Joint Stock Theatre production, presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Limited.
