About this Event
The Way Old Friends Do
Ian Hallard’s The Way Old Friends Do is a tender, laugh-out-loud comedy about devotion, desire and dancing queens. In 1988, two Birmingham school friends tentatively come out to one another: Edward as gay; Peter, even more daringly, as an ABBA fan. Thirty years later, they meet again – and take a chance by forming the world’s first ABBA tribute band in drag. It is a riot of platform boots and dodgy beards, ‘Waterloos’ and ‘Chiquititas’, and they couldn’t escape if they wanted to. But can Edward and Peter’s friendship survive the tribulations of a life on the road? The Amateur premiere of Ian Hallard's play is directed by Sharon Old in our Studio Bar.
