With Spring just around the corner, an announcement has been made about the UK tour of hilarious comedy The Birds and the Bees, Starring Helen Lederer and Michael Starke arriving at The Alexandra, Birmingham from 25 to 29 July 2023. The show goes on sale to ATG TheatreCard members Tuesday 28 February and on general sale Wednesday 1 March 2023.
On Gail’s East Anglian farm, the honeybees are dropping like flies – just like her love life. She hasn’t slept with anyone since her husband bolted years ago. Her daughter’s marriage is going bust just like her turkey farm. Neighbour Earl is fighting a losing battle with his sugar beet yield and his ‘no strings’ relationships. Can bio-student Ben perk up the pollinators and give the turkeys a helping hand? Perhaps all they need is some local mead and the annual Turkey Day’s Dance to help them discover that the best way out of a crisis is to commit to those closest to you. Just don’t get stung!
