Soap actress Roxanne Pallett is heading to Newcastle-under-Lyme to appear in John Godber’s comedy On the Piste.

Produced by the John Godber Company and the Theatre Royal Wakefield, On the Piste visits the New Vic on its national tour.

Pallett, best known for her role as Jo Stiles in Emmerdale, takes the part of Bev in the bittersweet production from the BAFTA-winning writer of Bouncers, Up ‘n’ Under and Teechers.

On the Piste had its première at Derby Playhouse in 1990 in a co-production with Hull Truck Theatre Company and was nominated for the Olivier Award for best comedy in 1993 and 1994.

It promises “an avalanche of laughs” as ski instructors Tony, Isobel, Michelle and Marie go on the piste in Chamonix. Everyone from first-time Brit skiers to the champagne set is out to impress on the slopes and in the sauna.

On the Piste is at the New Vic from Tuesday 28 October until Saturday 1 November.
