The cast includes Donna Berlin ( Doctors) James Bradshaw ( Endeavour), Sara Crowe (Olivier Award winner for Private Lives), Andrew Horton ( Jupiter’s Legacy) and Rose Shalloo ( Malory Towers). Written by and starring Ian Hallard ( The Boys In The Band), the play is directed by Mark Gatiss ( Sherlock, Dracula, Doctor Who, The League of Gentlemen). Simultaneously tender and laugh-out loud funny, this heartfelt story will appeal to anyone who understands how it feels to be a fan: of ABBA or of anyone. Can their friendship survive the tribulations of a life on the road one full of platform boots, fake beards, and a distractingly attractive stranger? Thirty years later, they reunite to form the world’s first ABBA tribute band – in drag.

The Way Old Friends Do is at The Lowry from Monday 22 nd to Saturday 27 th May. Dancing Queens, a new play written by and starring Ian Hallard and directed by Mark Gatiss is heading to The Lowry, Salford next Month.
