All the Single Ladies

Coming to The Mill Volvo Tyne Theatre is sparkling new comedy, All the Single Ladies on Thursday 29th and Friday 30th March 2012. A brand new play from comedienne Abigail Burdess, All the Single Ladies explores the love lives of three women in the festive glow of New Year.
Full of wit and hilarity, this sparkling comedy finds Leslie Ash in the form of her life, returning to the stage for her first national tour in 17 years. Co-starring Brooke Kinsella and Tara Flynn, this superbly crafted new play will have audiences in stitches as past romances unravel and future love is pondered.

Leslie Ash is one of the nation’s best-loved comic actresses and makes a long awaited return to the stage. Since she last toured, Leslie has become a household name as everyone’s favourite next-door neighbour, Debs in Men Behaving Badly. She also enjoyed major roles in Holby City and Merseybeat. Leslie plays Liz, seven times married, now happy to be single and dating on the net.

Leslie is joined by Brooke Kinsella, who starred as Kelly Taylor in Eastenders for five years and recently toured the UK in Jonathan Harvey’s Beautiful Thing. She plays Alison, too young to have been left on her own. Brooke received her MBE in December 2011.

Tara Flynn makes up the triumvirate. She is well known on the touring circuit as a performer of distinguished timing, appearing on Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle and The Omid Djalili Show. Here Tara plays Orla, the Irish landlady, taken advantage of by her lothario lodger.

The cast will be directed by Andy Burden, whose credits include work with The Natural Theatre Company and Bristol’s Tobacco Factory. Don’t miss this bittersweet and hilarious new comedy.
