Following Southwell Theatre Club’s pre-pandemic successful production of ‘The Fat Lady Sings in Little Grimley’, another comedy by the same playwright, David Tristram, will be their first play production since.  

‘The Opposite Sex’, set in the 1980’s, revolves around the shenanigans of two couples and a last minute - very unexpected - dinner party invitation.  When the couples meet for the first time on the night of the party, they have no idea of the trouble ahead!  It turns out that Vicky, Mark, Judith and Eric have just one thing in common; and when they all find out what it is, all hell’s going to break loose! 

Katie Freeman, chair of Southwell Theatre Club, said “We’re really looking forward to bringing this comedy to life and with everything that’s happening at the moment, we hope that people will truly enjoy what we are hoping will be a fun evening out that’s full of laughter”.

The play, which contains adult humour, runs from Thursday 12th May until Saturday 14th May, 7.30pm at Southwell Library.  Doors open 7pm.  Bar open pre performance and during interval.  Tickets are £10 each and available in person from Southwell Library, 01636 812148, or online at www.ticketsource.co.uk/SouthwellTheatreClub. 

The club has a full season planned, with two one act comedies by Anton Chekhov in the autumn, followed by their popular winter murder mystery. Monsieur Parrot is on standby.  Actors and backstage helpers are always welcome to join this small and friendly amdram society, please email southwelltheatreclub@gmail.com.  You can also find, follow and message us on Facebook.
