Canada to get its own Corrie stage-play

Ken Morley, who played Coronation Street's Reg Holdsworth and is currently doing the rounds as the narrator in the fab Corrie! stage play, has revealed that there is the possibility of another Coronation Street-themed play being produced for Canada.

Ken says: "The 50 year celebrations are in September in Canada because that’s when they started showing it. So the whole bandwagon will start all over again. At the moment they seem slightly hesitant about what to do. They asked John Stevenson, one of the Coronation Street writers, to write a specific play in which Coronation Street characters could be involved but I think they’ve had a rethink about that. It’s a very big theatre in Toronto so there’s some debate about what they want to do about the dramatisation of it. If it happens I’ll be recreating Reg. The producers over there are working night and day to work out what they want to do."

Let's hope it goes ahead.  If you haven't already seen Corrie! the stage show, you must, it's wonderful. Here's our short and sweet review.
