Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World
James Seabright in association with Jason Haigh-Ellery and Park Theatre presents the Birmingham Rep production of The Way Old Friends Do By Ian Hallard. Directed by Mark Gatiss. A new comedy about devotion, desire and dancing queens. In the late 1980s, two school friends from Birmingham tentatively come out to one another: one as gay, the other as an ABBA fan. Nearly thirty years later, a chance meeting sets them on an exciting new path, and they decide to form the worlds first ABBA tribute band in drag. But can their friendship survive the tribulations of a life on the road; one full of platform boots, fake beards and a distractingly attractive stranger? Tender and laugh-out-loud funny in equal measures, this heartfelt story will appeal to anyone who understands how it feels to be a fan: of ABBA or of anyone. The Way Old Friends Do is written by Ian Hallard (The Boys in the Band, Park Theatre and Scenes From An Execution; National Theatre), and directed by Mark Gatiss (Sherlock, Dracula, Doctor Who, The League of Gentlemen).
