A brand new production of hit West End comedy Straight and Narrow will play Above the Stag from 3-28 August.

The cosy domesticity of lovers Bob and Jeff is threatened by a crisis. Jeff is considering leaving Bob. Bob, meanwhile, has to contend with meddling family members who are ignorant of his living situation.

Bob’s mother, a domineering comic creation, complicates matters by pressing him to get married. She refuses to recognise that there is anything about her son which might upset her conventional sensibilities.

Can Bob’s family - matriarch mother Vera, Lois and Bill, Nona and Arthur - help to rescue the situation? And will Bob be able to tell the seemingly ignorant Vera that the ‘straight and narrow’ is not the life for her favourite little boy...?

The cast includes Lewis Allcock (Marlowe’s Fate, White Bear Theatre) as Bob, Todd Von Joel (EastEnders, Holby City) as Jeff, Carol Royle (Beautiful, UK tour) as Vera, Kerry Enright (Wicked) as Lois, Harriett Hare as Nona (The Mousetrap), Damon Jeffery as Bill (An Enemy Of The People, Chichester Festival Theatre), and Gavin Duff as Arthur (The Warmhouse).

The production is directed by Mark Curry, with set and costume design by David Hill.
