When We Are Married
Tue 19 Oct 2010 - Sat 26 Feb 2011

When We Are Married, JB Priestley’s gloriously timeless traditional British comedy about class and hypocrisy returns to the West End starring a fine ensemble of West End favourites, including Maureen Lipman as Clara Soppit and Roy Hudd as the photographer Ormonroyd.

Set in 1908 in Clecklewyke in the heart of Northern England, three well-to-do West Yorkshire couples – the Parkers, Soppitts and Helliwells – married on the same day, at the same church, and by the same vicar, join to celebrate 25 years of blissful matrimony. Disaster strikes with the shocking revelation that the vicar who married them wasn’t actually licensed – these pillars of the church and the community, aren’t as respectably married as they thought they were!

Home truths fly like confetti, an old flame returns and other uninvited guests start to call. With a photographer from the local paper due to arrive, a missing housekeeper and a doorbell that won’t stop ringing, can the three couples keep a lid on their embarrassing secret or will the neighbours find out, destroying their standing in the community?

When We Are Married stars Olivier Award nominated Rosemary Ashe (The Witches of Eastwick, Phantom of the Opera), Lynda Baron (Open All Hours, Fat Friends), Susie Blake (Coronation Street, Victoria Wood), Michele Dotrice (Some Mothers Do Have ‘Em), David Horovitch (Bedroom Farce, Taking Sides & Collaboration), Roy Hudd (Coronation Street), Sam Kelly (‘Allo ‘Allo), Olivier Award-winning Maureen Lipman (A Little Night Music, Glorious) and Simon Rouse (The Bill).
