The Likely Lads, specially wirtten for the theatre by Dick Clement
and Ian La Frenais.

Nickleby. He last appeared at the Gala in 2006 playing the lead
role in the theatre’s first in-house production, The
Far Corner. Bob’s best friend Terry Collier will be played
by Scott Frazer, whose acting career to date has seen him rise from
Newcastle’s Byker Grove and Northern Stage to roles at the National
Theatre and West End.
Playing no less than four roles will be Live Theatre veteran actor
Donald McBride who has appeared in almost every major TV and theatre
production in the region, including Gala’s recent in-house productions
of Taakin’ Heeds
and Beamish Boy.
Also in the cast are Susie Burton, who recently appeared at Northern
Stage in A Christmas Carol,
in the role of Bob’s long-suffering fiancée Thelma, Grace
