COMEDY THEATRE: Shakers at Southwick Barn

AUDIENCES will be taken on an hilarious journey through a busy night at the bar in Wick Theatre Company’s latest production – Shakers.

Every town has a bar like Shakers, a place everyone wants to be seen in, to be noticed among the flash, but tacky décor, the overpriced cocktails and inedible food, and to be served by the glamorous girls who work there.

Audiences will be able to see a bustling night at the bar through the eyes of four cocktail waitresses, Carol (Emma Parker), Nicky (Sophie Lane), Adele (Phoebe Hine) and Mel (Anna Quick), as they struggle with sneering snobs, lager louts, drunken, emotional girls, a lecherous boss, their own insecurities and ever more complicated cocktails.
