Full casting has been announced for the brand new stage adaptation of beloved British comedy The Good Life, which opens at the Theatre Royal Bath on 7 October 2021.

The production will then go on to visit Cheltenham, Salford, Oxford, Cambridge, Malvern, Richmond and Chichester.

The acclaimed cast includes actress and presenter Preeya Kalidas as ‘Margo Leadbetter’, Dominic Rowan as ‘Jerry Leadbetter’, and Sally Tatum as ‘Barbara Good’, joining the previously announced actor and comedian Rufus Hound as ‘Tom Good’. Also featured will be Nigel Betts and Tessa Churchard.

Jeremy Sams’ new comedy is based on the classic television series by John Esmonde and Bob Larbey which entertained countless millions in the 1970s. Directed by Sams, this world premiere production will be the first time that the iconic characters of suburban neighbours the Goods and the Leadbetters will be seen on stage.

Remember the Goods - Tom and Barbara, suburban eco-warriors? And their next-door neighbours Margo and Jerry Leadbetter, desperately trying to maintain the Surbiton status quo? Jeremy Sams's comedy leads the well-loved characters through uproarious  adventures, some old, some new and often (even today) hilariously familiar. This new play celebrates a time when, whatever our differences, we still managed to get on with our neighbours. 

The Good Life is designed by Michael Taylor, with lighting by Mark Henderson, sound by Fergus O’Hare, and composition by Tim Sutton.
