South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture

 

Gregor Fisher is taking to the road with the first leg of his UK tour, and we’re delighted that he’s stopping off at Lanark Memorial Hall.

Join the Scottish stage and screen legend for a laughter-filled evening in conversation, as he shares stories and anecdotes from his life and career, which has seen him bring iconic characters to life in such classic titles as the multi BAFTA Award winning Rab C Nesbitt (BBC2), Naked Video (BBC2), The Baldy Man (ITV), Love Actually, and most recently BBC1’s hit sitcom Only Child.

Joined by his friend and colleague Nigel West, the show promises to be an evening with plenty of laughs, a few surprises, and a bit of honesty about the ‘daft and wonderful journey’ Gregor has had over the decades.

Studio32 Theatre Company present Home, I’m Darling, by Laura Wade.

Judy is perfectly happy. She has the perfect home, a ridiculously happy marriage and only last week picked up the most wonderful frilly apron to match her newly styled kitchenette. She is living the life of a quintessential 1950s housewife, and she couldn’t be more content. But – are things really that perfect? Can you really live the 50s dream in the 21st century?

Studio32 presents what is destined to be the Scottish amateur premiere of Home, I’m Darling by Laura Wade – a stylish, witty romp through gingham, cocktails, and perfectly polished domestic bliss – until the cracks start to show. It’s a sharp, fun twist on 1950s nostalgia where vintage ideals clash with modern life.

From the theatre company who brought you Calendar Girls and Steel Magnolias, don’t delay – snap up your tickets today!

Available to book online or by calling East Kilbride Arts Centre on 01355 261000.

On 23 January 2024 I was diagnosed as being neurodivergent which was kind of a surprise to me, funny enough not to anyone that knows me.

Although surprising this pretty much answered my full life and why I am the way I am.

So come join me in a show where I’ll give you a first-hand insight from my delusional eyes to what goes on in my ever-expanding mind with stories of how I've managed to survive through a life of total confusion to how and why I now prefer to be alone, mostly!

Suitable for ages 16+.
