New comedy play to be performed at the Marina Theatre

A popular television star has described how a brand new comedy play at the Marina Theatre will ensure audiences leave with the “feel good factor”.

Crissy Rock is best known for her appearances in ITV shows Benidorm and I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here. And now, alongside close friend Leah Bell, she has written and will star in the new play Seriously Dead – at the Marina Theatre on Wednesday, February 1, at 7:30pm.

From the people that brought you Dirty Dusting, the new play considers an ordinary day in the quiet little town of Olwinskirk. But then, a chain of extraordinary events began to take place bringing the lives of Betty, Albert, Billy and the local undertaker, Tristan de Winter, to an uncomfortable crossroads.

Crissy said: “The idea just evolved while Leah Bell and I were touring in Dirty Dusting - talking while driving to the next theatre and making up wild stories. Although we were discussing it for two years, we actually wrote it in four months. I have visited Lowestoft with Dirty Dusting and although only there briefly, I had a smashing windswept walk along the marina. People should come along and shake off the January blues with comedy that will leave you laughing at life (and death) – we make sure that the audience goes away with the feel good factor!”

The production also stars former Emmerdale and Doctor Who actor Frazer Hines, with the original music from Mike Redway.

“When I got the script – I couldn’t wait to do it as it is something so different to anything I have done before,” Frazer explained.

“The audience will get laughs, pathos, and a big finish!”

Full price tickets: £21, Concessions: £20.
