Royal Court Liverpool will be spending June and July at the races with Amanda Whittington’s fantastic comedy Ladies Day, starring Emmerdale’s Roxanne Pallett!

The show will run from 14th June – 13th July and will be Ken Alexander’s first show as Artistic Director. The show attracted rave reviews when originally performed by Hull Truck Theatre Company in 2005. The original setting was Royal Ascot at York Racecourse but this production will see the action moved to Aintree Ladies Day.

The cast is now confirmed and it will see a mix of old faces and new coming to the Court.

The Royal Court will be welcoming back old friends in Eithne Browne (Brick Up The Mersey Tunnels), Lynn Francis (A Nightmare On Lime Street) and Jack Lord (Ladies Night). They will also be welcoming new faces to the Court, the superb Angela Simms (If The Shoe Fits) and the fabulous Roxanne Pallett (Emmerdale’s Jo Sugden).

Kevin Fearon, the show’s Producer and Chief Executive of Royal Court Liverpool, is looking forward to getting the show underway: “When this script landed on my desk I knew it was a great show. It is a real feel good comedy and some of the audience will be wiping away a tear at the end. The cast are a great bunch and we were really impressed by Angela and Roxanne at auditions so we can’t wait to have them here for the start of rehearsals. Jack will be the busiest of the bunch though as he plays six different parts!”

Ladies Day will run from Friday 14th June to Saturday 13th July 2013. Tickets and information are available from www.royalcourtliverpool.com or on 0870 787 1866.
