Lancaster’s Dukes theatre will be staging three of its own productions throughout the spring and summer alongside a programme of comedy, drama, dance and children’s entertainment.
The dramatic year begins with I Was A Wife, written and starring actor Polly Lister, recent winner of a UK Theatre Award, who is currently appearing in The Dukes Christmas production of Beauty and the Beast.
Polly goes on a raw and comic journey through marriage told with the help of characters she’s portrayed along the way, including the witch she played in The Dukes 2014 outdoor production of Hansel & Gretel.
The theatre celebrates the 20th anniversary of Stones In His Pockets with a revival of the comic sensation.
And in the summer, The Dukes return to Williamson Park with J R R Tolkien’s fantastical adventure The Hobbit from July 5 to August 13.
