South Shields Customs House
Thursday 19th

Written by Ed Waugh and Trevor Wood,
it tells the story of three cleaning ladies who start a telephone chat line
when they are threatened with redundancy.
Providing Elsie (Benidorm’s
Crissy Rock) can teach the other two a few new tricks, there’s no reason why
they can’t get rich quick – providing they keep their operation a secret from
their bosses, husbands, children and grandchildren.

stars alongside Dolores Porretta Brown as Olive and Leah Bell as Gladys, with
the saucy cleaners dubbing themselves The Telephone Belles.

Leah said: “Although
we perform Dirty Dusting all over the country, there is always something
special about bringing this play back to its debut theatre, The Customs House. We always feel a little extra twinge of
nerves, especially the time we knew the original cast of Jean Southern, Gwen
Doran and Helen Russell were sitting in the audience. Every time we tour in Dirty
Dusting, we always add a little something extra naughty into the closing scene
- and this time we have a bit of a surprise for everyone!”
Dirty
Dusting is described by Waugh and Wood as “a searing indictment of ageism in
the 21st century, heavily disguised as a hysterical, laugh-out-loud,
heart-warming comedy”.
It has
toured Scotland, England and Ireland on several occasions and recently
toured New Zealand and Australia. It is heading
to Spain next year.
It has
recently being released to the amateur market and is proving to be very
popular.
