Damsels in Distress - RolePlay

Middlesbrough Theatre presents the Michael Friend production of `Damsels in Distress`. Two interlinked comedies by Alan Ayckbourn.

RolePlay: Justin and Julie-Ann - both in computers but hopelessly mismatched in love - are about to introduce their respective parents to each other over dinner. Into this delicate situation a gangster's moll literally drops in from the flat above. When her gun-toting minder arrives and refuses to leave without her, the couple’s meticulously planned evening is thrown into blissfully comic chaos and family relations will never be the same again.

Road Directions

From the A19 take the A1130 (signposted Acklam/Middlesbrough).
At the roundabout take the second exit up Mandale Road.
At the T-junction by the Coronation pub, turn left onto Acklam Road.
At the traffic lights, turn right into Green Lane.

Continue past the College of Art and Design and take the fifth turning on the left into the Avenue.

The route is signposted throughout with the brown “mask” signs (although the one on Acklam Road indicating the right turn into Green Lane is slightly obscured by a bus shelter and can easily be missed).
