Tinned Up – Takeover: 53Two

Shirley Parkin has lived at number ten Brook Street, Langworthy, all her life – and she isn’t going anywhere. A spirited sixty-three-year-old spinster, she has defied the council for years, refusing to move out of her modest two-up-two-down terrace. Beryl, a foul-mouthed friend, Joy, an unhappy single mother and Daz, a thirty-year-old stoner have been campaigning alongside Shirley to keep their local park from the cold grasp of profit-hungry developers.

53Two and Manchester Actors’ Platform partner up with the Coliseum to tell the story of Tinned Up, a play about being forced to move, leave memories and friends, to make way for developers.
