Hilarity and pandemonium break out when three long-married couples – respected pillars of society – discover that the parson who married them was not authorized to do so… meaning they have been living in sin for 25 years. This comes as a shock to the three husbands who are all ‘Big men at t’chapel.

The play’s Director,  James Mackenzie-Thorpe, says: ‘Whether everything turns out for the best you’ll have to come and see it to find our but everything is made more complex by the comings and goings of work-shy cooks, hard-drinking newspaper men for ‘Yorkshire Argus and unwanted faces from the past.’

Pre theatre dining available, please place your meal order when you book your tickets.

A sneaky peek at rehearsals…

Bijou Theatre Production have chosen this productino to celebrate their own anniversary – seventy years ago Greta Huggins the founder of Bijou Theatre Club, stood in the stables of the then Gerston  Hotel in the centre of Paignton and said to her friends ‘let’s make a theatre’… and so the Bijou Theatre Club was born. It was a small 50-seat theatre only open to members. They produced four plays a year for which they charged members 10 shillings; how things have changed! Bijou’s, Wendy Caplan says: ‘We still do four plays a year and Greta would be thrilled that we are celebrating our 70^th Anniversary of the Bijou Theatre Club this year.’ Bijou look forward to you joining them for their Bijou celebration at the Palace Theatre Paignton from 30^th April to 3^rd May.

This amateur production of ‘When we are married’ is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. https://www.concordtheatricals.co.uk/
