Based on her hit BBC TV show that entertained millions of viewers over four series, The Syndicate is a new stage play by the legendary Kay Mellor, that follows five supermarket employees whose lottery syndicate numbers come in, just as their jobs and livelihoods are under threat.
Will a share of the £18million jackpot make their dreams come true or their nightmares a reality? One thing’s for certain, the win of a lifetime will change the lives, loves and relationships of all the syndicate members… for ever.
Written by Kay Mellor and directed by Gaynor Faye, this moving comedy drama is based on the first series of The Syndicate and marks the world premiere of Kay Mellor’s final stage play, following on from the huge success of her other stage adaptations; ‘Band of Gold’ and Fat Friends. The mother/daughter duo have collaborated on multiple writing and directing projects, with The Syndicate marking the directorial debut for Gaynor and honouring the extraordinary talents of her mother, one of Britain’s most successful writers and her unparalleled ability to make us laugh and cry and above all entertain, with her wonderful characters and stories.
Don’t miss your chance to see this jackpot of a production.
