Thu, Feb 17, 2011

The play is an uproarious comedy-drama which has become a box office smash via its appearances at a string of regional venues over the last few months. The hit show now comes to the Town Hall Theatre on Friday February 25 and Saturday 26 and, whatever about the election vote-casting and vote-counting that might be going around then, this play is a surefire theatrical poll-topper.
