Soap Opera at Wyvern Theatre

 

Wyvern Theatre

Swindon

Monday 17 - Wednesday 19 September

 

Soap Opera is a spoof murder mystery set behind the scenes at the failing TV soap, ‘Hollyenders Street’.

 

Leslie Grantham (aka the infamous Dirty Den from BBC1’s Eastenders) is joined by Chris Ellison (DCI Burnside from ITV1’s The Bill), Louis Emerick (Mick Johnson from C4’s Brookside/PC Walsh from BBC1’s Last Of The Summer Wine), Michelle Gayle (BBC1’s Eastenders), and the hilarious Kev Orkian, in this brand new comedy.

 

‘Hollyenders Street’ has been on air for fifteen years, and viewing figures are the worst they’ve ever been. So a new, hardnosed producer is brought in to mix things up and save the show - Characters are cut, stories are sexed up and new blood is brought in.

 

Even the theme tune is re-written. Before long, the cast are at war, the writers are on strike and everyone ends up unhappy. And then, somebody snaps. Blood is spilled and a body is discovered…

 

Doors: 2.30pm & 7.30pm shows

 

Tickets: £18
