Royal Exchange in November

 

It's time to put your bets on BETTY! A SORT OF MUSICAL, directed by the Royal Exchange Theatre's former artistic director Sarah Frankcom and co-written by Maxine Peake and Seiriol Davies, BETTY promises to be a must see for all family and friends. The Dewsbury Players high-kicks may be wobbly, their acting ‘enthusiastic’ and the props left over from a production of MISS SAIGON; but, tonight, the Village Hall is their theatre of dreams! Emboldened by their heroine Betty Boothroyd indefatigable tenacity, this amateur group prove themselves to be extraordinary women on and off stage. BOOK YOUR TICKETS Join Tom Allen on 13 November, as he discusses his hilarious, honest and touching new book TOO MUCH, followed by an audience Q&A. Told through snapshots from Tom's busy life - whether reflecting on the campness of funeral customs, muddy lockdown walks in unsuitable footwear or just reminiscing on his childhood obsession with Patricia Routledge - TOO MUCH is a hilarious joyride of stories as well as an emotional ode to Tom's beloved dad, and a touching manifesto on how to navigate the complexities of grief.
