About the show

Book Victoria Wood’s dinnerladies tickets for the regional stage adaptation, with Les Dennis as Stan and a story inspired by the BBC sitcom.

Victoria Wood’s dinnerladies tickets and regional UK dates

Victoria Wood’s dinnerladies returns to the Manchester canteen in a new stage adaptation inspired by the BBC One sitcom. Les Dennis is advertised as maintenance man Stan, joining the familiar world of Bren, Tony, Dolly and their colleagues in a comedy produced by Wood’s estate.

The canteen moves to the stage

The production draws on the television series that Victoria Wood wrote and starred in. Its story returns to the canteen characters, including Jean, Twinkle and Anita, and their working relationships.

ATG describes the adaptation as the first piece of Wood’s work to be produced by her estate. The new story is inspired by the original series and its canteen setting.

Advertised casting and access

Les Dennis is named as Stan, with the remaining cast still to be announced in the checked listings.

ATG repeats the same access-performance date across different tour venues. Confirm the actual BSL-interpreted or audio-described performance with your chosen theatre before booking.
