Life is one long, hard slog for the fish-filleting foursome Pearl, Jan, Shelley and Linda. But their fortunes are set to change when they head to Ladies Day at the races. Factory hairnets make way for fascinators as the four friends hit the races for an unforgettable day out.
Secrets are spilled with the champagne and friendships are tested to the limit. Yet as the day unfolds and tempers fray, their accumulator bet keeps quietly winning. If their luck and their nerve holds, the ladies could hit the jackpot – and more.
“Whittington's characters are untouchable when they keep their white stilettos firmly on the ground.”-The Guardian
20 years after its premiere, "Ladies' Day" remains in the Top 10 list of most-produced plays in British community theater. "It's a great evening's entertainment with a number of funny and touching moments."
Characters:
Pearl (F, mid-50's) - A fish packer
Jan (F, mid-40's) - A fish packer
Shelley (F, mid-20's) - A fish packer
Linda (F, mid-20's) - A fish packer
One male actor to portray Joe, Fred, Jim McCormack, Patrick, Kevin, and Barry
Actors should feel comfortable playing with accents and learning a Northern English accent in rehearsals. Sides will be provided; no preparation necessary. Dress for comfort, movement, and self-expression.
Role descriptions are suggested by the playwright - all faces, ethnicities, ages, and gender expressions are welcome and encouraged to attend. Harbinger has worked with over 100 actors in their 18 Capital Region premieres (of which Ladies' Day will be #20!). We love meeting new people and hope you do too.
