GROUND Rules is the latest production from the renowned Crime and Comedy Theatre Company and will be showing at:- The Atkinson, Southport, on:- Thursday, 5 October 2023, as part of a UK tour.
Written by Eric Chappell, who created some of our best TV sitcoms (Rising Damp, Duty Free, Only When I Laugh), Ground Rules is a rip-roaring comedy set in the suburban world of Judith and Gerald, a middle-aged, seemingly perfect couple. But when they witness a very public argument between young lovers Jo & Ashley, a chain of events are set in place that no-one can control. Flirting and frayed tempers lead to jealousy, confessions and misunderstandings; plus a potato in the exhaust pipe!
Crime and Comedy Theatre Company have already set the bar high with the huge success of their last tours:- "The Hound of the Baskervilles' starring:- Colin Baker (Doctor Who, The Brothers) & Terry Molloy (Radio 4’s The Archers) plus Revenge Directed by Louise Jameson (Emmerdale, Eastenders, Bergerac).
Ground Rules once again features an exciting creative team including:- award winning Director / Actor, Bob Golding (Les Dawson Flying High, A Man Called Monkhouse, Morecambe) who comments:- “I’m extremely honoured to be working with this wonderful company and incredible cast... & on such a rarely performed piece.”
Bronte Alice Tadman, Kate Ashmead, Martin Parsons and Joel Stern play the 2 hapless couples in a comedy which is by turns hilarious and poignant, preposterous and touching. By the end, nobody’s relationships; or perhaps even partners; will ever be the same again!
Crime And Comedy Theatre Company proudly present Eric Chappell’s final play; a tribute to a remarkable Writer who sadly passed away in 2022.
Ground Rules is 1 not to miss! Tickets are on sale now from:' The Atkinson, Southport.
