Staffordshire drama group, Stoke Repertory Players, will be performing J. B. Priestley’s acclaimed period comedy, When We Are Married, at Stoke Repertory Theatre in Staffordshire this December. Following on from the success of their first production of the 2019/20 season, Stoke Rep Players are gearing up for a sumptuous Edwardian farce, written by one of England’s finest 20th Century playwrights. Set in 1908, When We Are Married is a witty examination of the Edwardian middle classes. A group of three couples, old friends and all married on the same day in the same chapel, gather at the Helliwells’ home to celebrate their silver anniversaries.
When they discover that they are not legally married, each couple initially reacts with typical period horror – “what will the neighbours think?” – and all three couples find themselves re-evaluating their marriages. Hovering closely over the proceedings is the Yorkshire Argus’ alcohol-soaked photographer, keen to record the evening’s events for posterity, and a wickedly destructive housekeeper who is hoping to use the couples’ mortification to her own advantage.
