Come and have a laugh as we read-through the stage version of the classic British TV comedy. This is a no-stress event open to all who feel like having a bit of fun. You don’t have to take part - maybe you just want to come along and watch. There’s a bit of bawdy content so probably more suitable for those in their teens or older.
It’s also a great chance to meet some of the hilarious people who hang out at our local theatre. We hope to see you there.
