Hard Graft's I Love Oldham

Oldham’s Hard Graft Theatre Company has come up with a novel way to give one of their town’s empty shops a new use.

Company founder Mark Whiteley has hired a town centre unit for three weeks with plans to stage his latest production in it.

Audiences will be able to watch the comedy I Love Oldham set, appropriately, in an Oldham charity shop in the shop unit on Albion Street.

Mark wrote it after gathering tales from more than 50 charity shops about the sort of goods donated for sale.

The show runs from May 21-June 9.
