Top West End stars coming to Stables Theatre at Hastings

The Stables opened its doors again on Wednesday May 19 a highly successful production of Michael Punters Bunker Girls after rising to the challenges imposed on it by Covid19 regulations.

Chair Neil Sellman says “The dedication shown by the team at the Stables to make the theatre safe and a comfortable experience for all, has been remarkable. The Crew are working with restrictions such a 50% capacity, mask wearing and table service in the bar to make the theatre viable.

“This has enabled the Stables to continue with its planned programme of introducing new artistic projects to the theatre. It is now set to welcome four West End actors to the theatre over the next four weeks.”

Jonny Magnanti and Tracey Ann Wood, who first performed together at the National Theatre, appear in Happy Jack (June 15 - 17)) by John Godber,

Set in the West Yorkshire mining village, Happy Jack is about the lives of Jack and Liz Munroe. The play follows the couple’s 40 year marriage, through the good times and the bad, telling snippets of their lives together, the love, sadness, anger, joy and conflict. It highlights the lives of working miners and the terrible legacies that many were left with long after leaving the pits.
