The boys are back in the pit!  By popular request Romiley Little Theatre return to the Partington Theatre to present ‘One Big Blow’ currently touring to sell-out audiences throughout the UK.

‘This is a unique production in terms of staging, the snapshot of social history it provides and the roots of the play itself. Written nearly a quarter of a century ago, it is primarily a comic drama which still retains relevance and surprised me with its humour, or more specifically the amount of surreal tongue-in-cheek wit.…Highly recommended‘ – Buxton Fringe review.

One night only – don’t miss it!

Tickets cost £8 (£6 concessions) and are available from the bar or from Les Hewitt on 07736152348.
