Hope Mill Theatre in Manchester has a world première of new play The Gap by Jim Cartwright, starring Matthew Kelly and Denise Welch.
The production will open February 9 for a limited run, closing March 9, 2024.
The Gap delves into the audacious adventures of Walter and Corral. He’s back up north, she’s still down south. They haven’t seen each other for 50 years, not since their Soho days, back in the swinging ’60s.
A chance phone call reunites them for one magical night and in next to no time, they’re back to their old tricks.
Kelly says: “I can’t think of a better excuse to return to Manchester than with actress Denise Welch and playwright Jim Cartwright. It’s a funny, moving, exquisitely crafted play.”
