Quality theatre coming to a village hall near you

It is the story of Jack and Liz from Yorkshire and their annual trip to Blackpool.

The stresses and strains of married life are brought into focus as the action moves from the 1980s back to the 1950s.

Mark Stratton plays Jack and Una McNulty, who was in Godber’s Muddy Cows at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough, plays Liz.

It is directed by Sheila Carter.

“September in the Rain is a lovely two-hander, perfect for touring,” said Mark.

“There are two of us and a stage manager. That means we can go to small, out of the way places.

“We are getting to places that normally do not have theatre,” he said.

“We’ve tried to bring the same standard that you would see in a regional theatre to a village hall,” said Mark. “We can’t match it for scale but with our main season the production values have been high
