Quality Street is unwrapped when Northern Broadsides’ comedy comes to Blackpool Grand Theatre starring TV actress Paula Lane.
J M Barrie’s farce Quality Street runs from June 27 to July 1.
Lane will take the lead as sweet schoolmistress Phoebe Throssel in Regency farce from Peter Pan author Barrie, which was such a sensation in its day that it gave its name to the chocolates.
Throssel runs a school for unruly children. Ten years after a tearful goodbye, her old flame returns from fighting Napoleon. But the look of disappointment on Captain Valentine’s face when he greets an older, less glamorous Phoebe spurs the determined heroine to become the wild and sparkling Miss Livvy.
