This well-known and popular play is a suburban situation comedy of manners, and satire on the aspirations and tastes of the ‘new’ middle class that emerged in Britain in the 1970’s.
Performed at The Caxton Theatre, Grimsby
Written by Mike Leigh
Directed by Debbie Shepherd
Opens Saturday 25 April through to Saturday 2 May 2026
Set in the London-side of Essex (theoretical Romford), Beverley Moss invites her new neighbours, Angela and Tony, over for drinks. They moved into the road just two weeks ago. She has also invited her neighbour Sue, a divorcee, whose fifteen-year-old daughter Abigail is also holding a party back at their home. Beverley’s husband Laurence is typically late home from work and the ‘gathering’ starts off in stiff fashion as the virtual strangers tentatively get to know each other. As the ‘hostess with the mostest’ Beverley endeavours to keep the drinks flowing. The alcohol takes effect on the evening. Sniping, flirting, naivety and too much stress is a cocktail for disaster as the play concludes.

Oasish are performing at Yardbirds Rock Club Grimsby this May!
Oasish are a multi award winning Oasis tribute band and are the OFFICIAL No.1 Oasis tribute band in the UK.
- Friday 1 May 2026
- Yardbirds Rock, Grimsby
- Plus support act The Anthems
Since forming in 2004, Oasish have taken the tribute world by storm. The attention to detail is incredible and many have hailed them as being better than the real thing!
They have performed at Wembley Stadium, The National Indoor Arena, Manchester Academy and are the only band to perform at the now world famous Glastonbudget Festival EVERY single year its been running.
The band don’t use cheap imitation copies of the real bands instruments or clothes either! The “Noel” actually uses the exact same model of guitar, a Gibson ES355, that the real Noel Gallagher plays.
Amps used are also custom made Hi Watt and vintage Fender amps to recreate that big oasis sound that became their trademark throughout the 90’s.
Oasish have performed on many big stages and at many big events and their clientele ranges from major corporate companies through to private parties for people lucky enough to book the band.
They are also no strangers to the TV screens either, having appeared on The One Show (BBC), The Gadget Show (Channel 5), Inside Out (ITV), GMTV (ITV), Sky News, The Culture Show (BBC) and numerous other broadcasts all across the television network.
They have also worked alongside big names such as Peter Kay, Jools Holland, Clint Boon (Inspiral Carpets), Dodgy and even performed with Shaun Ryder of The Happy Mondays!
Oasish also boast that they are the only oasis tribute to use a live string quartet on stage and have done this on several occasions when performing a bigger headline show at some of the many festivals they play throughout the spring/summer months.
