Designer John Brooking with David Lonsdale and Sarah Jayne Buckley

David Lonsdale and Sarah Jane Buckley will take to the Lichfield Garrick stage in John Godber’s September in the Rain.

Lichfield Garrick Rep Company presents the play which is a “nostalgic wander down the rain-sodden streets and beaches of Blackpool in its heyday”.

Loosely based on Godber’s Yorkshire grandparents, September in the Rain tells the story of a marriage through a couple’s regular holidays in Blackpool.

David Lonsdale is best known for his role as David Stockwell in the long-running TV series Heatbeat.

Sarah Jane Buckley played Kathy Barnes in the Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks and will take the role of Eva Cassidy in the forthcoming national tour of Songbird.

September in the Rain runs at the Garrick from Friday (30 May) until Saturday 21 June.
