We all need a few laughs right now and Valley Artists is onto it !
We’re starting our theatre year with a lovely, very British comedy. Vera and Irene met at a wedding where ‘liquid libation’ flowed freely and confidences and a handkerchief were shared. There may or may not have been a tango. From this point these two beautifully drawn, very different characters are drawn into a somewhat unlikely friendship.
Their letters share both domestic details and deep emotional turmoil. Despite a two- timing lothario, the high drama that develops at the Cricket Club Ladies Night Dance, an unfortunate encounter with a bulldozer and an irresistible need for a bit of one- upmanship, their friendship survives . ‘Stationery Lives’ is a hilarious study of two extraordinarily ordinary Englishwomen .
Runs 22 – 30 May 2026
Adapted from the BBC radio and TV series ‘Ladies of Letters’ by Carole Hyman and Lou Wakefield .
Our October production will be The Odd Couple by Neil Simon . Stay tuned !
