Lip Service bring their Hysterical Historical Show to the Forum Studio Theatre in Chester

Cult theatre company and comedy duo LipService return to Chester with their Hysterical Historical Show– a whacky whirlwind tour of Britain’s female national treasures.

Meet notorious gossip Mrs Gaskell and her timid friend Charlotte Bronte, learn about Marie Stopes and her little known friendship with Scott of the Antarctic, stage a protest with the ever radical Pankhursts, meet Georgian housekeeper and inventor of cuppa soup Elizabeth Raffald, Beatrix Potter and many more.

The show can be seen at the Forum Studio Theatre in Chester on Saturday, June 28. Call 01244 341296 or visit www.tiptopproductions.co.uk.
