A fierce and funny theatre production will return to The Albert Halls in Bolton next month and its gritty content is not for the faint-hearted. Rita, Sue and Bob Too will return to the town centre theatre on October 3 and 4 from 7.30pm to 10pm.
The story follows Rita and Sue, two working class girls from a rundown Bradford council estate who are about to finish their final year at school. In their spare time, they earn money babysitting for married couple Bob and Michelle. Behind Michelle’s back, Bob embarks on an affair with both Rita and Sue, who are both hungry for adult adventure.
It is only a matter of time before Michelle and Sue’s parents finds out, and when they do sparks fly. The play, which has received multiple five-star ratings from critics is based on Andrea Dunbar’s semi-autobiographical work and is a stark snapshot of 1980s northern working-class life under an increasingly repressive Tory government. In 1986, the play was adapted into a film of the same name and attracted a cult following due to its intimate portrayal of ordinary people’s lives.
