Sheila's Island

The Old Joint Stock theatre are proud to be producing Sheila’s Island - a sparkling, sharp-witted comedy from top writer Tim Firth.

Bonfire night and Sheila, Denise, Julie, and Fay are Team C in Pennine Mineral Water Ltd.’s annual outward bound team-building weekend. Somehow, Marketing Manager Sheila has been nominated team leader, and has unwittingly stranded her team on an island in the Lake District. Questions are asked; truths are told; dirty washing is aired. Can Sheila keep tempers from fraying, nails from breaking and get her band of top level executives safely back to shore?

This hilarious and relatable comedy sees four middle aged women face the challenges of life all whilst trying to find their way out of the wilderness as creatively as they can.

Billed as ‘The Office meets Lord of the Flies meets Miranda’ this is one comedy you don’t want to miss this October.
