Rita, Sue And Bob Too! Return To St. Helens’ Theatre Royal This November.

Regal Entertainments Ltd proudly announce that West End star Darren Day will play Bob in the 80s cult classic Rita, Sue & Bob Too! which returns to the stage this autumn .

Back by popular demand, this hilarious comedy play by Andrea Dunbar is based on the 1987 British film. The show, which runs from Tuesday, 22nd November to Saturday, 26th November, features a brilliantly funny script, an impressive all-star cast and is bursting with all the best 80s music, taking you on a hilarious trip down memory lane.

Previous productions of the play have broken box office records at St Helens Theatre Royal in 2011, 2012 and 2015.

Darren said: “This is such a great play. I’m really looking forward to playing Bob and to performing at St Helen’s Theatre Royal for the first time.”

Darren, a star of stage and screen and well-known television presenter, will be acting alongside his real-life wife, actress Stephanie Dooley, who plays Michelle.

Merseyside Legend Crissy Rock (Benidorm) returns as the hilarious Mum and Coronation Street’s Duggie Brown joins the cast as Dad. Brilliant actresses; Emily Fleeshman (Open all hours) and Olivia Sloyan (Blood Brothers) complete the cast as Rita and Sue.

The play tells the story of Rita and Sue, two working class girls from a rundown council estate who are about to finish their final year at school. In their spare time, they earn money babysitting for married couple Bob and Michelle.

Behind Michelle’s back, Bob embarks on an affair with both Rita and Sue, who take it in turns with him in his car in the countryside. Michelle eventually finds out and leaves lothario Bob. When Bob later develops a preference for Rita, the two girls fall out but when Sue ends up in an abusive relationship, the trio are reunited.
