When We Are Married

14 July

– 18 July 2015

By J. B. Priestley

Set in 1908 in the heart of Northern England, three respectable couples, married on the same day, at the same church, and by the same vicar, join to celebrate 25 years of blissful matrimony. Or so they think ....

The happy celebrations are brought to a sudden halt by a shocking revelation; these pillars of the community aren't quite as respectably married as they thought they were.

As the home truths fly like confetti and conjugal rights turn to farcical fights, an evening of sparkling comic mayhem erupts.

With a photographer from a local paper due to arrive any second, a missing housekeeper and a doorbell that won't stop ringing, can the three couples keep a lid on their embarrassing secret? This classic comedy is a blessed union of laughs and surprises.

Reviews

When We Are Married appears to be ageless; as bright upon the stage as at its first production in 1938. Act II, in particular, is superbly written. Congratulations to Director, Colin Lawrence, cast and crew in serving up an enjoyable, delicious, very funny toast to marriage.
