Dirty Dusting at the Royal Again
Ed Waugh and Trevor Wood's Dirty Dusting, which is rapidly establishing cult status in the NE, is to return to the Newcastle Theatre Royal where it played to packed houses for three days in September.

The play, which tells the story of three over seventy year old office cleaners who, threatened with the sack, set up a sex chat line on their employer's premises, will play a full week at the 1,300-seater Newcastle venue from 14th June.

Over 1,000 Tickets Sold
South Shields' Customs House has sold over 1,000 seats for its 2004/5 pantomime Dick Whittington, before this year's panto is halfway through its run.
