Bury-born comedienne Victoria Wood is to direct a new version of her play Talent.
The comedy with songs is previewing at the Old Laundry Theatre in Bowness-on-Windermere, from August 27 until September 12.
With original music and lyrics by Victoria, Talent is co-produced with the Menier Chocolate Factory in London.
It tells of a talent night at Bunter’s nightclub, and contestant Julie and her fat friend Maureen are waiting backstage.
As they are plunged into a world of ukulele-wielding pensioners, a crotch-grabbing compere and some long-buried personal history, Julie and Maureen have to decide how lucky they really want to be.
Tickets are now on sale. Box office: 015394 88444 ext 223
