Corrie's Ashley and Diggory star in Cissie and Ada: An Hysterical Rectomy

Steven Arnold and Eric Potts, who played Ashley Peacock and Diggory Compton in Coronation Street, are joining forces on stage to star in Cissie and Ada: An Hysterical Rectomy.

Cissie and Ada are the immortal comic characters created by the late, great Les Dawson aided and abetted by Roy Barraclough. They'll grace the theatre stage for the first time in this hilarious new play. 

Written by playwright Graham Warrener in collaboration with original Cissie and Ada scriptwriter Terry Ravenscroft, Cissie and Ada revisits the story and the culture behind the side-splitting sketches and that of BBC Light Entertainment in the 80's as well as bringing Dawson and Barraclough's comedy genius back to life.

Cissie and Ada is being performed at the Barking Broadway for twelve shows only, with three matinees available and shows on Good Friday and Easter Monday. 

Every performance will be streamed live so even if you can't make it to the Broadway, you needn't miss out. 



Here's a reminder of Cissie and Ada in all their glory!
