By Ed Waugh and Trevor Wood
A trio of hard-working cleaners are facing the axe. They might be past their best, beyond their sell-by date and over the hill but they certainly won’t take threats of redundancy lying down.
These game ‘girls’ set up a phone sex service, known as “The Telephone Belles”, and that’s when the fun really begins. Their bosses don’t know about it, their families would never guess and their very willing customers are none the wiser. They’re the only chat-line girls with dusters, attitude and their very own bus passes!
Don’t miss the original old-timers who become good-time girls in this must-see comedy.
The show broke box office records when it was first performed in Newcastle. Audiences in Glasgow and Edinburgh demanded another chance to see this laugh-a-minute look at sex and the over seventies
“A dazzling, laugh-a-minute comedy …… this theatrical treasure will have you in stitches from the opening to the closing lines”.
