Acorn Antiques

From the genius of Victoria Wood and based on the iconic sketch from her weekly television show, Victoria Wood As Seen on TV, Hope Mill Theatre bring Acorn Antiques the Musical back to the stage!

Come along to Manchesterford, a place full of quaint, old fashioned shops such as “Acorn Antiques”. run by sisters Miss Babs and Miss Berta. They are assisted by business partner Mr Clifford, elderly tea lady Mrs Overall, and two ‘pitiful adolescents. But before long their cosy world faces a threat from developers, who want to turn their high street into a collection of coffee bars and sexy underwear shops. As the plot unfolds, Miss Babs and Miss Berta are faced with financial woes and family secrets, including a lost triplet sister. Will the innocent antique dealers fight off the developers and a sinister loan shark? Can they find the missing will of their father? And will Miss Berta ever find true love?

This laugh out loud musical parody will be sure to have you rolling in the aisles and toe tapping along…so grab yourself a macaroon and don’t miss this special one-off performance.
