Do you remember where you were the first time you watched Abigail’s Party? 📺🍷

The cheese and pineapple sticks… the vol-au-vents… the drinks trolley… the awkward silences… and of course, the unforgettable Beverly! 😂

For so many of us, Abigail’s Party isn’t just a play – it’s a television classic that had the whole country talking. Now you can experience Mike Leigh’s brilliantly funny, painfully awkward comedy LIVE on stage at the Little Theatre Gateshead.

⚽️ One final whistle… and one final chance. 🎭

Saturday 18th July is the FINAL performance of The Invincibles at the Little Theatre, Gateshead – an uplifting, funny and inspiring play celebrating the remarkable Sterling Ladies and the pioneers who helped change women’s football forever.

As if to prove just how connected this story still is, Jude, who’s in the play, recently bumped into England legend Gill Scott at the Metrocentre! A lovely reminder that the spirit of women’s football is alive and kicking – both on stage and on the pitch. ❤️⚽

If you’ve been meaning to come along, don’t leave it until “next time”… because there isn’t one!

🎟️ Final performance: Saturday 18th July
