Gail Young’s hilarious comedy-drama follows Jill and Andy as they navigate their way through the minefield of emotions produced by thirty-odd years of so-called wedded bliss -ending in divorce. Not a pretty sight, but funny in oh so many ways…
Depressing topic for a play? Well, it could be, but definitely not in this case! This is a powerful play with plenty of comic punch and an uplifting soundtrack to accompany the drama onstage. A must see!
This popular play premiered at The Forum Studio Theatre, Chester in October 2018 and was directed by Gail herself. Her other plays include Cheshire Cats, which was staged by HTC in 2017.
This amateur production of Head Over Heels is performed by kind permission of Concord Theatricals.
