About the Show

A black comedy about one woman's pursuit to change her circumstances for the better.

It is 1981, the year of the Royal Wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer.

A small hotel stages the 'Miss North West' competition this year in a desperate attempt to improve its dire financial situation. Meanwhile, Janice, the hotel's waitress, waits in the still room as she sits and craves more from life. When a new waitress arrives, this shakes things up at the dreary hotel for good.

A new dark comedy by playwright Sally Rogers. Nigel Douglas directs. This production is recommended for ages 16+.
