The Way Old Friends Do @ Halifax Playhouse

Halifax Thespians present by arrangement with Nick Hern Books

an Amateur Premiere of The Way Old Friends Do

Tue 22 to Sat 26 October at 7:30pm & 2:30pm Sat. matinee

Ian Hallard’s The Way Old Friends Do is a tender, laugh-out-loud comedy about devotion, desire and dancing queens.

In 1988, two Birmingham school friends tentatively come out to one another: Edward as gay; Peter, even more daringly,

as an ABBA fan. 

Thirty years later, they meet again – and take a chance by forming the world’s first ABBA tribute band in drag. It is a riot of platform boots and dodgy beards, ‘Waterloos’

and ‘Chiquititas’, and they couldn’t escape if they wanted to.

But can Edward and Peter’s friendship survive the tribulations of a life on the road?

Tickets: £6 to £12. 2 for £12 on Tuesday
