Also spotted this,another show that may be worth the trip
Published Date: 26 May 2009
THE STAGE version of the world's longest running sitcom will be presented at Lancaster Grand Theatre next week.
Last of the Summer Wine follows on from the huge success of Footlights comedy productions including Dad's Army and Allo Allo.
The play features all the favourite characters from the TV series including Foggy, Clegg, Compo and Nora Batty.
Footlights actors will bravely take on the roles made famous by legends such as Bill Owen and Peter Sallis. It's a lot of pressure but the cast are more than up to filling their shoes (or should that be wellies?).
The play is by the original writer Roy Clarke and follows the familiar Yorkshiremen through a typical misadventure involving Compo running around in his long johns, a streaker on the loose and Foggy and Clegg desperately trying to keep all this away from the ladies.
Last of the Summer Wine opens on Tuesday and runs until June 6.
Tickets are £6.50 for the first night, all other nights £8.50/£7.50 conc from the box office on 01524 64695 or online at www.lancastergrand.com.
