Much-loved sitcom Waiting For God comes to life on stage in a hilarious and heartwarming new production at the People’s Theatre!

“Don’t you ever call me a senior citizen”

The timeless wit and irreverent charm of WAITING FOR GOD, the BAFTA-nominated BBC sitcom, is set to delight audiences once again – this time on stage!

The outrageous antics of the Bayview Retirement Village residents are brought to life in this side-splitting and unexpectedly poignant production.

Opening on Tuesday 15th July at the People’s Theatre in Heaton, this all-new script by the sitcom’s creator Michael Aitkens captures his original sharp dialogue and lovable characters, while introducing fresh theatrical flair for longtime fans and newcomers alike.

At Bayview, feisty battle-axe Diana Trent (Karen Elliott) finds herself constantly at odds with the Home’s conniving manager. But when new resident Tom Ballard (Jim Boylan) arrives, Diana gains a sparring partner and ally, and the pair team up to deliver some hilarious comeuppance!

Directed by Sam Hinton, the production sees Diana and Tom get up to all sorts of hijinks, including a high-speed trip to Bournemouth in a stolen Porsche!

Head to the People’s for a night of laugh-out-loud comedy, biting satire, and a touching celebration of aging boldly and living life unapologetically.

WAITING FOR GOD a comedy by Michael Aitkens plays at People’s Theatre Tuesday 15 – Saturday 19 July.

Tickets are available from the People’s Theatre Box Office on 0191 265 5020 (option 2) and online at www.peoplestheatre.co.uk
