The play is a homage to the comedy style of Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson. So if you are a fan of 1980's British comedy such as  'The Young Ones' and 'Bottom', you will enjoy the reading.

You can take part in the reading, or simply sit back and enjoy listening. No experience required — just curiosity and a love of stories. 

NOTE:- The play contains material not suitable for children. Anyone under the age of 18 will not be admitted.

A play reading is an informal performance where actors read directly from the script, giving audiences a sneak peek into a new work before it goes to full production. It’s relaxed, fun, and a great way to get involved with local theatre.

Whether you’re an actor, writer, theatre fan, or just looking for something different to do on a Sunday afternoon - this is for you.

Come support local creativity, meet new people, and help launch an exciting year for East Coast Theatre.

? No bookings required — just turn up and be part of it.
