About the Show

A gender-swapped adaptation of Tim Firth's comedy Neville's Island.

On a team-building weekend, a group of colleagues, led by marketing manager, Sheila, wind up unwittingly stranded on an island in the Lake District. As their mobile batteries die, and hunger takes over, tempers begin the flare - can Sheila keep them in check and get them back home?

This production is recommended for ages 13+ and stars Olivier Award winner Sara Crowe (Private Lives, Calendar Girls, Four Weddings and a Funeral), Judy Flynn (The Brittas Empire, Dinnerladies), Abigail Thaw (Endeavour) and Rina Fatania.
