After a sold out tour last year, the new stage version of Some Mothers Do ‘Ave’ Em is back and will include a five-night run at Lighthouse, Poole.
The production will star the original Some Mothers Do ‘Ave’ Em cast members, including comedy legend Joe Pasquale, West End favourite Sarah Earnshaw and national treasure Susie Blake.
The 2020 tour will be coming to Lighthouse, Poole’s Centre for the Arts from Tuesday 3rd March for five nights.
According to Joe Pasquale, returning to the loveable but accident-prone role of Frank Spencer is a dream come true: “After 30 years in show business, this has been the role of a lifetime for me, so to be bringing it back again, this time to a wider audience, is a dream come true.
The play, based on the original TV series by Raymond Allen, is written and directed by Gary Unsworth, who says: “We never imagined how much love there would be for this new story of Frank and Betty, both from critics and audiences alike.
“I’m so pleased that these incredible cast members are returning, led of course by the irreplaceable Joe Pasquale, who is unmissable as Frank.”
