Birds of a Feather - 01 Mar 2012 (7.30pm)
The girls are back! One of BBC TV’s most popular and fondly‐remembered sitcoms comes to the stage with all three of its original leading cast members, PAULINE QUIRKE, LINDA ROBSON and LESLEY JOSEPH.
BIRDS OF A FEATHER ran on BBC for nearly ten years throughout the 1990s becoming a massive hit right from the word go and remains not only a classic comedy but also, as a female centred long running series, a truly rare gem.
And now the three stars of the TV series are re‐united on stage to re‐create their adored characters, sisters Sharon Theodopolopoudos and Tracy Stubbs and their sex mad neighbour, Dorien Green, in a brand‐new show created especially for the theatre by The Comedy Theatre Company, producers of the highly‐successful tour of Victoria Wood’s dinnerladies.
Please note that, due to the busy work lives of the three stars, this tour is very limited in length so make sure you grab this opportunity to see BIRDS OF A FEATHER onstage for the first time ever.
