"There’s an autocratic director called Gordon who is completely incompetent.

"One of the women is a real diva, and another is a plasterer who constantly eats bananas.

'An Evening In Little Grimley' runs from 7 – 11 June 2022 at Thornton Little Theatre.

Curtains are at 7:30pm and tickets are £10, available from Wyre Theatres.
