Full Details : Work, love and life are one hard slog for the fish-filleting foursome Pearl Jan, Shelley and Linda. Their luck changes when Linda finds tickets to Ladies’ Day at Royal Ascot in York. Off go the hairnets, wellies and overalls and on go the frocks, fascinators and stilettos, as the girls tart themselves up and head off for a drink, a flirt and a flutter for a day at the races they will never forget. Once there the foursome, themselves fish out of water, make the most of this once in a lifetime opportunity to mix it with posh folk. As the day unfolds, the champagne flows, secrets spill out and their horses keep winning. By the last race, the girls are on course for a life-changing win. Those rich blokes and exotic holidays could be theirs for the taking but their posh day at the races doesn’t turn out quite as they had planned as echoes from the past come back to haunt them.
This is exuberant and contemporary comedy at its best, directed by one of Community Theatre’s most experienced and awarded directors Peter Kirkwood.
