Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads?
Show type: Theatre
1973. Before social networking, Facebook and mobile phones, Northern men sat in pubs and talked about work, woman and the difficulties of modern life. Bob Ferris and Terry Collier are two such men. Having lost touch for five years, decommissioned Terry returns home to Newcastle and is reacquainted with his old school mate. Bob has a new house, a second car, an impending wedding to his beloved Thelma and a bright future. For jobless Terry the only thing to look forward to is the past. Despite their new circumstance, and the still best of mates, Bob & Terry are the original Northern bromance.
Recreating two classic episodes for the stage, Strangers On A Train & Boys Night In.
With John Cooper as Terry Collier & Sean Mason as Bob Ferris.
