One For The Road by Willy Russell, Directed by Margaret Bennett
17/01/26 - 24/01/26
Time: 19:30
This wickedly observant comedy by the author of Educating Rita finds Dennis on the eve of his thirtieth birthday, making a last-ditch attempt to break away from the confines of his now restrictive middle-class, housing-estate existence.
Reaching breaking point at his birthday dinner (they are middle-class after all), he prepares a rucksack to make his escape. Though everyone reminds him of his responsibilities, Denis stands his ground as for him life on the road IS LIFE. By explaining to each of the group that he misses the free-living youth he shared with them, he’s come to the decision that this is the time to hit the road and recapture his youth again. And to his surprise, the others agree and decide to accompany him on the same basis …….. oh! and perhaps the kids could come along too, all sharing a fully fitted modern caravan. Defeated, as the other can’t see what he is longing for, he gives up. But there’s
always next year ... and the year after ... and the year………..
