The Octagon in Bolton kicks off its spring season with a co-production of Amanda Whittington’s comedy Ladies’ Day.
Directed by Marieke Audsley, this co-production with Staffordshire’s New Vic Theatre comes to Bolton March 8 to April 1, following its run at the New Vic February 3–25.
Set in 2005—the year Royal Ascot relocated to York for a season—Ladies’ Day charts the story of four women who swap their typical working day at a fish factory for front row at the races.
Full cast includes Gareth Cassidy (Marvellous, New Vic,@sohoplace), Tanya-Loretta Dee (Sirens, Mercury Theatre, Family Album, Stephen Joseph Theatre), Annie Kirkman (The Hound of the Baskervilles, East Riding Theatre, Beryl, Arcola), Jo Patmore (As You Like It, Northern Broadsides and New Vic, Frost Hollow Hall, East Riding Theatre) and Kate Wood (Brassed Off, Derby Theatre, The Full Monty, David Pugh and Dafydd Rogers).
