A charmingly tender and irresistibly funny play, about big dreams and small changes.
Things aren’t going to plan for one family in Withernsea, Yorkshire.
Pieces are falling off Martin’s milk cart as quickly as he’s losing customers, and something’s wrong with Kath’s kitchen sink. Billy is pinning his hopes of a place at art college on a revealing portrait of Dolly Parton, while Sophie’s dreams of becoming a Ju-Jitsu teacher might be disappearing down the plughole. Enter Pete, a shy and slightly love-struck plumber, called on for repairs which tend to be required at the most hostile times.
Amid the dreaming, the dramas and the dirty dishes, something has to give. But will it be Kath or the kitchen sink?
************
We will be exploring Yorkshire accents during rehearsals. An attempt at the accent is appreciated but not required at the audition.
Please be familiar with the audition pieces, but no need to memorise them. Some people may be called back for a further read at a later time.
