Dancing, drinking and wedding night nerves all feature in Willy Russell’s sharply observed comedy, STAGS AND HENS which can be seen in a new production by Papakura Theatre Company which runs from Saturday 14 – Saturday 28 August at Off Broadway Theatre with performances at 8:00pm each night. Earthy, entertaining and candid, STAGS AND HENS is set in the toilets of a Liverpool dance hall.
Dave and Linda are getting married tomorrow. Dave’s out with the lads on his Stag Night, washing a chicken curry down with plenty of Southern Comfort and Black Velvet before heading off to the dancing.

Meanwhile Linda and her pals have had the same idea and the Hen Night party, with Linda dead set on a final fling before the Big Day, have landed up in the same dance hall.
Disaster is sure to strike if the bride and groom meet before the wedding so Linda’s pals are determined to keep them apart.
Exuberant and bleakly funny, STAGS AND HENS is a hilarious look at working class misogyny and the rituals of marriage.
Willy Russell is one of Britain’s most popular playwrights. His work includes Education Rita, Blood Brothers, Shirley Valentine and One For The Road.
Reading parts for the various roles will be available from John Walker Music shortly.
