What's on Next

Knutsford Little Theatre presents touching, often hilarious, bitter-sweet Men of the World

Preparing for a 'mystery' trip to Scarborough three Northern coach drivers pass the time remembering more exciting trips from the past, such as the last one, down the Rhine Valley to Heidelberg. Larry is a driver nearing retirement, a big Mario Lanza fan he has been making trips for as long as anyone can remember, and the thought of giving it all up horrifies him. Stick, on the other hand, hates his passengers but that doesn't mean he isn't looking for a bit of career advancement. He'd love oust his rival Johnny Mac and take over the Spanish run where the passengers are more likely to be young ladies than golden oldies. Then there is Frank. A woman driver in a man's world who gives as good as she gets.

Using suitcases, hats and scarves the three actors take turns playing an assortment of passengers, from the dotty old complainers to the retired miners seeking excitement too late and on too little money. Giving the passengers nicknames like the Beverley Sisters, the Marx Brothers and Arsenic and Old Lace the cast will break into song and dance in their portrayal of characters that we will all recognise.

John Godber is famed for his minutely observed situations from everyday life and Men of the World is one of his best to date.
