Remember Angie Freeman? I liked Angie a lot. She drank pints too. Anyway, actress Deborah McAndrew who played her in Coronation Street is now a prolific playwright. Her latest play called Losing the Plot and performed by the Mikron Theatre Company. tells the stories of the gardeners of Thistledale Allotments. This green-fingered group often clash among themselves, but when their allotment comes under threat, they must work together to save it.
The Theatre Company is currently booking venues for next year, and would like to honour the setting of the play by staging some of the performances in allotments.
Artistic director Marianne McNamara said: “We are really keen to perform this play in allotments themselves so if you think you have the perfect venue and would like to host a show please do get in touch by calling 01484 843 701.
Full details.

Angie was a great character. I'm sorry that she didn't do more in the Street.
