 Victoria Wood

A revival of Victoria Wood’s Talent is set to play the Menier Chocolate Factory. The show, which is described as “a comedy with songs,” will begin previews on September and open on September 23. The production, directed by the author, will play through November 14.
Talent finds contestant Julie and her fat friend Maureen waiting at Bunter’s nightclub. As they are plunged into a world of ukulele-wielding pensioners, crotch-grabbing comperes and some long- buried personal history, Julie and Maureen have to decide how lucky they really want to be.
The show features original music and lyrics by Wood, set designs by Roger Glossop, lighting by Paul Anderson, sound by David Ogilvy and musical supervision by Nigel Lilley. Talent is being co-produced with the Old Laundry Theatre, Bowness, where it will run from August 27 through September 12....
