OUTSIDE EDGE

Hilarious English cricket comedy by Richard Harris which won Best Situation Comedy’ award. Set in a cricket pavilion but performed outdoors in the PumpHouse Amphitheatre.

Roger, the bossy captain of the team struggles to assemble his team to play against a visiting British Rail side. Those complications pall though, before others occurring among various wives and girlfriends. We soon discover that most of the blokes have dropped a googly of some sort in their relationships off the pitch.

There is trouble between Bob’s wife and ex-wife; Alex’s girl friend locks herself in the loo and Dennis flirts indiscriminately until his wife sets fire to his car. And that’s not all !  Blunt Maggie, a fearsome female bricklayer cuddles her tiny husband throughout while Miriam, champion tea-maker rebels against the bossy Roger and discovers what he got up to during an earlier team visit to Dorking.

Outside Edge had a fabulous West End run and was later made into a boisterous TV film.  Don’t miss this hilarious summer show in a perfect setting with several of Shoreside Theatre’s favourite performers.

March 14 – 24.  Eight performances at 7.30pm
