Jan 26 2012 by Mark Smith, Runcorn and Widnes Weekly News

FOLLOWING its smash hit sell-out success in 2011, St Helens Theatre Royal has announced the return of comedy The Ciggie Run.

Written by John Evans and starring Brookside’s Louis Emerick, The Ciggie Run promises to have audiences laughing out loud once more with its hilarious mix of hysterical characters who get themselves into some extraordinary situations.

The Ciggie Run tells the tale of three blokes who plan a trip to import cigarettes to subsidise their income during the recession – with hilarious consequences.

Chrissie (Emerick) is doing his best to keep his creditors happy.

Franna is doing his best to keep his wife happy, and Lash is doing his best to keep Lash happy – that is until a local gangster Fitzy discovers that his unmarried daughter is destined for a stroll around Mothercare.

The culprit responsible for the deflowering, a young Cuban by the name of Fernando, is advised to seek refuge back in his motherland, el pronto.

The show runs from February 8-12 and tickets priced £13-15 can be booked on 01744 756 000.
