A treat is in store for everyone at the Lyceum

J B Priestley’s 'When we are married' runs from April 13-21

The Lyceum Theatre Oldham will continue a season of British comedy classics with a play that will hit the funny bone of all ages.

In its 80th anniversary year, J B Priestley’s 'When we are married' - which runs from April 13-21 -  is as relevant today as when it was first written.

Poking fun at Victorian values, the play also takes a pop at marriage, society, the press and tradition when three couples, who thought they had been married for 25 years, find their settled, secure, respectable lives have been a sham.

With a large cast and a fantastic script, this is a perfect play for the talented enthusiasts at the Lyceum Theatre.

Director Karen Barton, whose recent credits include another Priestley play, Time and the Conways, is excited to be back at the Lyceum.

She said: "When We Are Married is about relationships of all sorts.

"It packs a punch at snobbery, self-importance, bullying, hypocritical behaviour.

"All of this seems highly relevant today."

Tickets are on sale now and can be bought online for only £8.50, from lyceumtheatre.org.uk
