London Theatre Direct

The Awkward Squad, written by Karin Young, produced by Fresh Glory Productions opens at the Arts Theatre 8th March 2012, following previews from 06 Mar 2012, running to 07 Apr 2012, as part of a UK tour.

Starring Libby Davison (The Bill, Hollyoaks), Charlie Hardwick (Val Pollard in Emmerdale), Barbara Marten (Casualty, Coronation Street, Brookside) and Lisa McGrillis.  The show is directed by Fiona Macpherson.

What chance does Lorna have of a quiet weekend when both daughters and her granddaughter descend on her with their own problems? She’s spent three decades working for everyone else through the miners’ strikes, community milk schemes and library closures and tomorrow she’s to be given an honorary PhD - but her granddaughter thinks a boob job is more important… On top of that a BAFTA, impending divorce, redundancy and a very upmarket caravanette force Lorna to reconsider both the past and the future – for everyone. What’s a woman to do? Accept everything that’s thrown at her, or become a fully paid-up member of the ‘awkward squad’?

BAFTA-winning Emmerdale writer Karin Young’s play is a state-of-the-nation comedy, taking a sideways look at the challenges faced by modern women of all ages.
