Win ‘Our Friends In The North’ tix @ The Lowry
February 27, 2008
This competition is now closed and the answer is Daniel Craig.
Congratulations to Michael Coupar!
The first ever revival of the play Our Friends in the North, familiar to many people as one of the greatest television series of all time, visits The Lowry on Tue 18 March. Few people realise that the Bafta-winning series, that made stars of virtual unknowns Daniel Craig and Christopher Eccleston, started life as a small-scale play produced by the RSC.
Now, 25 years later, Northern Stage are turning north-east writer Peter Flannery’s play into a large-scale epic.
THE SHOW:
This is a drama of epic proportions, with 14 actors playing 43 characters, across 17 years and two continents. Told through the stories of four friends – Nicky, Mary, Tosker and Geordie – it is a magnificent chronicle through the 1960s and 70s, jumping from the Houses of Commons, to the banks of the River Tyne, to Scotland Yard, through a Newcastle high-rise and even into a seedy Soho porn shop. It’s a fast-paced and slick journey through the murky world of whispered conversations in the corridors of power and underhand deals, where everyone is getting their hands dirty.
THE OFFER:
The Lowry have kindly offered one WOS Manchester reader a pair of tickets to see Our Friends In North on Tuesday, 18th March. If you love a good drama, this play could be right up your street. Directed by Erica Whyman, the production looks at the defeat of left-wing idealism when the thirst for power becomes the driving force.
HOW TO WIN:
Please answer the following question:
Which Casino Royale and The Golden Compass actor starred in the hit television version of Our Friends In The North?
Please email your answer and full name- with the heading Our Friends Comp to: glenn@whatsonstage.com by the closing date, Friday 7th March. One winner will be chosen and notified by Monday 10th March.
The winning pair of tickets will be held at the Lowry Box Office on the night in the winner’s name. Tickets cannot be provided for any other night.
Good Luck!
