Overview

Television favourites including Craig Gazey, winner of National Television Best Newcomer award and British Soaps Best Comedy Performer award for his portrayal of Coronation Street’s popular innocent Graeme Proctor; Emmerdale’s Suzanne Shaw, Champion of ITV’s Dancing on Ice, West End star of Chicago and Joseph and Pop sensation; Gemma Bissix, two-time British Soap award winner for her role in Hollyoaks and Bath Panto villain; Vicky Entwistle, best known as the feisty Janice Battersby in Coronation Street and Heartbeat’s Steven Blakeley, come together in this award-winning comedy classic.

Trevor Tinsley is a small-town grocer with a devoted wife and new baby daughter - but his desire to taste the forbidden fruit of free love leads him astray and into the welcoming arms of his neighbour’s wife.

Hilarious misadventures ensue, featuring a host of comic characters, as Trevor’s actions lead him into conflict with his strait-laced community and his narrow minded wife is provoked into a surprising reaction of her own...!

Prolific playwright for the stage, television and radio, Mike Stott is renowned for celebrating the quirkiness and robust charm of “ordinary life”. He is perhaps best known for Funny Peculiar which enjoyed an acclaimed West End run that launched the careers of Julie Walters and Richard Beckinsale and was nominated for Comedy of the Year in 1976.

Contains strong language, nudity and adult themes.
