Pavilion Arts Centre Studio
The Holiday of a Lifetime: Marie won it on a scratch card! The winning card said it all, the heaven… ‘an all expenses paid fortnight in a luxury hotel’ and the hell… ‘for all the family’! The family, Katy, Marie’s daughter, teenager with attitude, Graham, Marie’s husband once the love of Marie’s life, now 15 years past his sell-by date … and his Mum! It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience all right, an experience that will change their lives! Take one everyday family, heat to 36 degrees, cover in suntan oil, leave in hired car to cook, then stand back and watch, as years of family tensions boil over in a hilarious mix of laughter and tears. What is Katy’s secret? Why does Mum end up behind bars? Who stole Gran!? Find out with Fiona Knowles as she takes you on a comic, compassionate catastrophe of family relationships in Stick Granny on the Roof-Rack. Read more about this event … or
