West End star Darren Day will play Bob in the '80s cult classic Rita, Sue & Bob Too! at St Helens Theatre Royal this autumn.
The comedy play by Andrea Dunbar is based on the 1987 British film and runs from November 22 to 26. Previous productions have broken box office records at St Helens in 2011, 2012 and 2015.
The play tells the story of Rita and Sue, two working class girls from a rundown council estate who are about to finish their final year at school. In their spare time, they earn money babysitting for married couple Bob and Michelle.
Darren will be acting alongside his real-life wife, actress Stephanie Dooley, who plays Michelle. It’s suitable for over-18s only.
