We’re back on stage in May – and you can now buy your tickets to see Ladies’ Day by Amanda Whittington at the Broadbent Theatre in Wickenby from 26th to 28th May 2022.
In this heart-warming comedy, life is one long, hard slog for the fish-filleting foursome Pearl, Jan, Shelley and Linda. But their fortunes are set to change when they head to Ladies’ Day at York Racecourse. Factory hairnets make way for fascinators as the four friends hit the races for an unforgettable day out.
Secrets are spilled with the champagne and friendships are tested to the limit. Yet as the day unfolds and tempers fray, their accumulator bet keeps quietly winning. If their luck and their nerve holds, the ladies could could hit the jackpot – and more.
Tickets cost £10 (£9 concessions) and can be pre-booked here.
