THURSDAY 12th JANUARY 2012 – BETTY BLUE EYES at the NOVELLO THEATRE

Part of Betty Blue Eyes's appeal lies in its timely plot, which draws (conveniently enough) on the dual themes of recession and royal matrimony. It's against that backdrop that we meet the show's protagonists, Gilbert and Joyce, the social-climbing Yorkshire couple who steal the pig that's due to be roasted in honour of those royal lovebirds of yesteryear, Elizabeth and Philip. There will be time to enjoy a meal before the show in one of the many restaurants nearby. Inclusive price for best seat in stalls and Luxury coach – £39. Dep. GG 3.00pm, OA 3.05pm, LR 3.10pm, and SG 3.15pm. Back in Billericay before midnight.
