Get ready for a rollercoaster of laughter and reflection!

Join us for Stanley Price’s brilliant black comedy, “Why Me?”—a sharp and witty exploration of masculinity, dignity, and the trials of life in the Thatcher era of the 1980s!

Meet John Bailey, a civil servant whose world is turned upside down after he’s left jobless. Say goodbye to the “tarnished chrome handshake” and hello to a crisis that will make you laugh, cry, and rethink everything you know about success and identity.

Why you can’t miss this play:

✨ John’s journey through unemployment is packed with humour that makes the heavy themes of despair and identity relatable and entertaining.

✨ Watch as John’s wife, Helen, finds success running her pizza business, turning traditional gender roles on their head. How will John cope with being the one in need of support?

✨ Add in an intrusive mother-in-law and a son grappling with his own identity, and you’ve got a recipe for comedy gold mixed with heartfelt moments.

✨ Unexpected Twists! From a misguided affair with a neighbour to the tension of job rejections, John’s struggles will leave you both laughing and reflecting on the fragility of self-worth.

“Why Me?” is not just a play; it’s a mirror reflecting our cultural landscape and the emotional toll of modern life. This is a story about resilience, humour, and the messy, complicated nature of family and identity.
