Starring Abi Titmuss
Up 'N' Under
John Godber directs the 25th Anniversary production of his Olivier Award-winning comedy. Actress and TV personality Abi Titmuss, fresh from a critically acclaimed performance as Lady Macbeth, stars as a gym instructor attempting to kick an unruly bunch of amateur Rugby League misfits into touch in just eight short weeks.
When Rugby League obsessive Arthur Hoyle bets his savings on the team from the Wheatsheaf Arms, a squad with a less than impressive reputation for losing every single match they have ever played, nothing short of a miracle can help.
Arthur has to turn the unwilling team into the best squad north of the Humber as they prepare to face their arch rivals, the Cobbler’s Arms. But help is at hand in the form of a gym instructor who may just have what it takes to prepare the boys for the match of their lives…

I saw this play at the Fringe in Edinburgh in late August and am re-visiting to see if they can manage to get the tears running down both cheeks simultaneously again.
Really well done to all!
