Theatre announces cast for festive comedy
The cast has been announced for Lichfield Garrick 's new comedy play for Christmas - The Bah Humbug Club.
Written by local Lichfield writer Carolyn Scott-Jeffs, the play runs from 8 to 27 December.
�rin Geraghty, Danny Horn, Beck Greig and Rosie Coles will take on the roles of four incompatible Christmasphobics playing an elf collector, an internet troll, a streaker, and a Nirvana fan.
The Bah Humbug Club begins in 1999 with four strangers who don 't like Christmas spending it together by chance only for them to choose to spend the next 20 Christmases together.
Irish actor, �rin Geraghty brings decades of screen and stage experience with a career which began in 1966, when she was chosen to dance in a film with Julie Andrews. �rin takes on the role of Pauline, the main protagonist in The Bah Humbug Club, the glue that holds the club together.
�rin said: “I 'm absolutely thrilled to be coming to lovely Lichfield over Christmas, especially for such a fun play. Christmas is so overhyped that many people find it overwhelming and for many, it 's a painful lonely time.
“The Bah Humbug Club is the perfect Adult Antidote to it all! A Christmas show for those who don 't like Christmas! ”
Beck Greig brings experience from immersive theatre productions in London.
He will bring the role of Kurt Cobain and Nirvana loving Andy to life.
Danny Horn will bring his stage and screen experience - including Doctor Who and Vera - to the role of Fred, a cricket fan and streaker who heads off on that first Christmas in 1999 in order to try and clean up his act.
Experienced stage actress Rosie Coles completes the anti-festive four in the role of Jane, who is secretly an internet troll.
Matt Clay, interim executive ,manager of the Lichfield Garrick said: “We can 't wait to welcome �rin, Beck, Danny and Rosie to Lichfield Garrick and to be producing this brand-new show by talented local writer Carolyn Scott Jeffs.
“The production promises a lot of laughs, tears, and nostalgia and is the perfect Christmas entertainment. It feels great to be open and offering so much festive fun for audiences this winter - we look forward to welcoming you into the theatre! ”
