A riotous day out with Willy Russell
Adults will be larking around as kids in Our Day Out by Willy Russell, the latest production from Southside, the award-winning drama group based in Balham.
Set in 1980s Liverpool, the action of this hilarious comedy by the author of Educating Rita and Shirley Valentine takes place on a school trip to North Wales.
Kindly teacher Mrs Kay is determined to show her remedial group – euphemistically called the ‘progress class’ – a fun day out in the countryside. The fly in the ointment is the authoritarian Mr Briggs, who doesn’t share Mrs Kay’s belief that the children will respond well to being treated with kindness and respect. “They’re just like town dogs let off the lead in the country,” is his opinion!
All the parts will be played by adults in this highly energetic and physical show. Director Emma Burford said: “This fast-moving comedy is loads of fun for both the audience and cast!”
