The play is set in a trashy 1970s disco in Liverpool, England.

When Linda's ex-boyfriend, Peter, arrives this causes an uproar between Linda and Dave's friends and when Linda's hen party get a say in all whats happening the two groups gang together to stop Linda taking up the offer of an escape with her ex Peter she is then forced with a difficult decision – to stay or to go. [4] [2] Characters [ edit ] Willy Russell's "comedy of convenience" is set in the toilets of a seedy scouse club and aims to provide a stomach-lining view of stag and hen parties which accidentally coincide. The result is not for the squeamish, neither is it for those without a sense of humour. Calling all hens -are you looking for a lovely luxury weekend away in the beautiful Scottish countryside?

You only get one chance to make sure your hen or stag party is perfect, so the team at Infinity Weekends makes it their priority to ensure that this will be the case in all of its 30 destinations both in the UK and abroad. Willy Russell's Stags and Hens is a magnificently vulgar assault on the threadbare idyll of young love and marriage. An engaged couple unwittingly roll up at the same seedy club for their stag/hen parties. Russell is accurate and affectionate, with occasional wonderfully surrealistic flights of fancy, improbably triggered off by tedious surburban paraphernalia like the accoutrements the couple is supposed to need for the simple business of coffee-making. Eddy (Teddy Scotchmer) is palpably disillusioned and on edge, the captain of a local football team that is also keen to be protective of his peers. That said, for a twenty-first century discerning audience there’s something a tad outdated and, dare I say it, unimaginative about a woman’s future seemingly hanging in the balance, only to be suddenly placed on relatively more solid ground by a man who swoops in and sets her straight by telling her what to do. Aside from that, it is, by and large, fun as befits the setting (of the nightclub, that is, not the conveniences therein) of this energetic show. If you do decide to have two events, be prepared that some friends might only be able to make one of them. What Are The Benefits To A Sten Party?

His first play was 'Keep Your Eyes Down Low' written in 1971. His first success was a play about The Beatles called 'John, Paul, George, Ringo and Bert' which opened in the West End in 1974. His best-known works are 'Educating Rita' (which was made in to a film in 1983), 'Shirley Valentine' (filmed in 1989), and the musical 'Blood Brothers'. Russell has written songs since the early 1960s, and has written the music to most of his plays and musicals. It was John McGrath's play 'Unruly Elements' which changed Willy Russell's mind about theatre; he had previously thought of it as being stuffy and middle class. Here was a way to communicate directly through humour and dialect, to touch people's emotions, to change lives. However, Willy Russell also wants his audiences to have a good time; the spirit of social reform is always answerable to the entertainment ethic.Find sources: "Stags and Hens" – news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR ( July 2012) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Situated in the scenic rural area of Bathgate and within travelling distance of both Glasgow and Edinburgh, Lothian Glamping is the perfect destination for a unique holiday experience away from home and its luxurious family pods are perfect for every occasion.

[4] [2] Characters The evening takes a sharp turn away from the merriment, and in Willy Russell’s unmistakable style, the play combines comedy with acrid truth, and hits off brilliantly the herd instinct driving both sexes onward and bed-ward. Ogh...God! Did y'see the state of him. An; he was serious. He tried to get off with me1 He was all of four foot nothin'. You should have given yours the elbow straight away. Didn't y'see me tryin'? "Are you stayin' up?" he says to me. All three foot six of him starin' up at me. I said "I don't know about stayin' up, don't y' think y' better sit down before y' get trodden on." He didn't have any feelings. He just ignored everythin'. He wouldn't take no for an answer. I said to him, "Look son, I'll let y' into a secret, it's no use tryin' it on with me, I'm a lesbian..." It did no good. "That's alright", he said, "I like a challenge," By this time I'm dancin' away again, hopin' no-one'd see me with him. And honest to God, he's so small he kept gettin' lost. I'm just walkin' away when he appaears again. "Goin' for a drink are we?" he says, I said to him, "Ey you'd better run along, Snow White'll be lookin' for you." Ey he didn't get it though. "Oh I'm sorry", I said, "But I thought you were one of the seventh dwarfs." He started laughin' then, y'know, makin' out he's got a sense of humour. "Oh yeh", he says, "I'm dozy," I said "Your'e not friggin' kiddin'..." I'm walkin' away an' he's shoutin' after me "Ey I'll see y' in the bar, I'll be in the bar. I said "Yeh, an that's the best place for you, along with every other pint that think's it's a quart!"
