A Theatre Royal Stratford East production
From 11 February
Adapted for the stage by Patrick Prior
Director Ryan Romain
"In Essex what goes around comes around..."
Nick Leary didn't have the easiest start in life with far from the perfect upbringing. But after years of hard graft, Nick and his childhood sweetheart have finally got it made. When an intruder breaks into their Essex home, Nick and Tammy's lives are turned upside down when Nick kills the young man in order to protect his family and possessions.
"More cleavage, bitching, dodgy deals, queasy stomachs and fist-fights than a Friday night Romford cab rank, the Theatre Royal and Queen Martina have done it again." The Wharf
Following last year's sell-out production of Two Women, Theatre Royal Stratford East stages its second adaptation of a Martina Cole novel, one of this country's most successful writers of crime fiction. Worldwide sales for Martina Cole's novels have now reached 10 million copies. Martina's most recent novels - The Family, Hard Girls, The Business, Faces, Close and The Take have all gone straight to No.1 in the Sunday Times Hardback Fiction Bestseller list.
"Jemma Walker was perfect for Tammy; Neil Maskell commands the stage as Nick; Marc Bannerman has fantastic stage presence as Louis, and Eddie Webber does dodgy character as if it was in the genes. Well worth going a few stops on the Jubilee Line just to see how entertaining theatre can be."
