A PLAY for middle aged women is to be performed at a north Durham theatre.

Mutton has played to audiences at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival as well as at regional theatres across the country.

The play follow ladies aged 40-50 on riotous night out and is showing at the Lamplight Arts Centre in Stanley on Friday June 26 at 8pm.

From hot flushes, or power surges as the girls like to call them, and memory loss to HRT and bladder weakness, no subject is too taboo to tackle.

Lauren Thompson, business development executive at Leisureworks, which runs the theatre, said: "We are always looking for ways to enhance the customer experience and what better way to do it for the girls than with men and chocolate.

"Dishy men in black will be serving up delicious chocolate covered strawberries and possibly generating a hot flush or two.

"It’s going to be real good fun and with the show promising that no subject is too taboo we are sure there will be plenty of gasps and giggles."

Tickets cost £10-£12 and can be booked by calling 01207-218899.
