FIFTY DAYS OF GREY
LET’S HANG ON
Fifty Days of Grey is a hilarious new comedy by
writer Andrew Lynford (Eastenders).
Fran and San are best mates and rule the world of
committees and societies in Batley - and it’s 2012
and there are Jubilee and Olympic celebrations and
events to organise!
They meet 19 year old Mandy at a Zumba class and
she introduces them to a whole world of mummy
porn, and they both realise there’s a whole world of
naughtiness out there that neither of them have
ever tried exploring.
And it’s raining... every day is grey. So, when it
rains, everyone needs to find something to do
indoors... right??
Set against the backdrop of the summer of 2012,
these girls ultimately win gold in this affectionate
and funny new comedy starring Sue Hodge
(Allo Allo) and Julie Fox (The Rocky Horror Show).
Contains mild adult content.

Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, their
music and their everlasting popularity spanning
many decades was finally brought to icon status

but also the uniqueness of the group.
Let’s Hang On has definitely captured the mood,
feel and sound to produce a wonderful evening

Taking the UK by storm, the ‘Supersonic
70s show’ is quite simply the hottest ticket

classic 70s hits that is just sensational.

Osmonds, David Essex & David Cassidy to
the classic sounds of The Carpenters
‘Saturday Night Fever’ & ‘Grease’.
This show is so mouth watering, even a
‘Curly Wurly’ cannot out chew it!”
Laughter not only provides a full-scale workout
for your muscles, it unleashes a rush of stressbusting endorphins which strengthen your
immune system, boost your energy, diminish
pain, and protect you from the damaging
effects of stress.
Always slightly on the edge, Jethro’s fruity
Cornish humour is the perfect remedy to cheer
us all. Turning everyday events into farcical
stories, embellished into hilarity with his
trademark west country dialect. Tales told with
such effortless rhythm, timing and charm that
it just melts all seriousness into pure laughter.
The perfect anecdote to everyone’s day.

Wheelchair and disabled access to the theatre is
available from street level. This access leads
straight into the main auditorium.
How to find us
FROM DONCASTER
FROM
WORKSOP
Many visitors have a little difficulty in finding us due
to the pedestrianisation of the town centre. We have
published a map showing exactly where we are, and
hope this will help, but landmarks in our vicinity are
Kings Park, Police Station and Asda Superstore,
should you have any difficulty. There are signs
directing visitors to the Theatre on the main roads
into Retford. The car park at the rear of Wilkinson’s is
very accessible from Arlington Way (town bypass).
It is only about 300 yards to the Theatre.
Car Parking
We very much regret that there is very little car parking
space available in Coronation Street, although there is a
little for the Disabled. There are car parks in Chancery Lane
and West Street, which are quite near the Theatre.
