ARE you looking for the perfect comedy to banish those new-year blues once and for all?

Then look no further than Northwich’s award-winning Harlequin Theatre as it gets ready to bring its latest show to the stage – Perfect Wedding.

The cast has been hard at work since the start of the year, ready to entertain residents with playwright Robin Hawdon’s hilarious farce.

The play follows a groom who wakes up on his wedding morning in his own bridal suite, with his bride-to-be about to arrive any moment and a strange girl in bed beside him.

 

As the ensemble attempts to try and find a way out of the mess, cases of mistaken identity end with comedic results, with some romance and softer moments thrown in for good measure.
