Enjoy this dark comedy at Lowry

Aug 29 2008 by Michael Green, Flintshire Chronicle

ENJOY a dark comedy from Alan Bennett at the Lowry Theatre this week.

TV favourites Alison Steadman and David Troughton star in Enjoy, which is set in Bennett’s home town of Leeds where an ageing couple are living in the city’s last back-to-back. With the demolition of the area in progress, Wilf and Connie are soon to be re-housed in a brand new maisonette with a waste disposal unit and non-slip vinyl flooring.

When a sociologist comes to observe them in their daily life, normality takes a decidedly atypical turn.

Mam tries to show the "observer" that they are acting completely normally, while clearly not.

Enjoy is at The Lowry, Salford Quays, from September 1 to 6. Evenings 7.30pm, Wednesday and Saturday matinee 2.30pm

Tickets: £12–£24, concessions £2 off except Fri & Sat evenings. Box office: 0870 787 5793 or www.thelowry.com
