Garrick Production Vardy v Rooney: The Wagatha Christie Trial Date range Tickets £10.50 - £16.50 Age guidance 12+ Venue Main House Trigger warning Find out more Book now Running time TBC Group bookings Find out more Accessibility Find out more Adapted by Liz Hennessey Directed by Dan Ellis A story stranger than fiction that blurs the boundaries of tabloid scoop, court case and soap opera, The Wagatha Christie Trial explores privacy and celebrity in modern Britain. On 9 October 2019, Coleen Rooney publicly accused Rebekah Vardy of selling stories about her to The Sun. The four words "It's.......... Rebekah Vardy's account" sent shockwaves across British and global press. Nobody could have expected the social media scandal to grow so large. On 10 May 2022, the "Wagatha Christie" trial commenced. Over seven days, the libel court case saw Vardy and Rooney remark on each other's lives, with much of it documented heavily in the press. Only a handful of people witnessed what happened behind the closed doors of this footballers’ wives drama and now you can too in this hilarious (and slightly tacky) court room comedy! You'll be on the edge of your seat as you relive the high-profile case, filled with drama, intrigue, and scandal. Vardy V Rooney: The Wagatha Christie Trial was first performed at the Wyndham’s Theatre in the West End in 2022 before a UK and Ireland tour. Recommended: 12+ Warning: This production contains some strong language and adult themes.

< Back Dick Whittington - The Garrick Pantomime ˂ Previous Production Next Production ˃ 9 December 2022 to 2 January 2023 OUR FESTIVE SHOW FOR 2022/23 IS OUR PANTOMIME VERSION OF ‘DICK WHITTINGTON’ The Garrick Pantomime Paved With Gold! BOOKING NOW! Dick Whittington’s heading to that there London to seek his fame and fortune – he’s heard the streets are paved with gold! With his trusty cat by his side, he gets a job at Alderman Fitzwarren’s Store but the city is under attack from the most villainous vermin of them all; King Rat! With the help of his new love Alice, Fairy Bow Bells, Sarah the Cook and her silly son Idle Jack, will Dick be able to vanquish the vermin? Oh Yes he will! For this is a Garrick Pantomime after all! Book now for this purrfect Christmas treat – it’ll be a Whitting-tonne of fun! Rick Bowen at Stagestruck ALL good pantos live or die by their leads and in Conor Collins, who plays King Rat, the Garrick has an actor born to be a baddie. When I saw this. on its freezing cold opening night, Collins managed to provoke the audience into booing and hissing him with little effort on his part every time he walked onstage. Even big kids like me couldn’t resist the temptation to join in, even though us critics are meant to be a snooty, buttoned up bunch. At the other end of the spectrum there are the goodies. Ethan Beer as Dick and Hannah Dorothy as the evening’s love interest, Alice Fitzwarren. Unless you’ve had a sense of humour bypass you’ll find it impossible not to warm to Phil Edwards as Sarah the Cook and there’s a kooky bond between this panto natural and Daniel Ellis who plays his son, Idle Jack. I also really also enjoyed Bev Stuart Cole’s Fairy Bow Bells as the action careers towards it climax. It’s hard to believe Cole has been member at this theatre for more than 30 years, so fresh and invigorating is her performance. Tom Whalley’s script is a mixture of daft dad jokes and a healthy smattering of saucier lines which are aimed obviously at the adults and are sure to go over the heads of the kids. Pantos are a great way to introduce children to the theatre and there was dancing in the aisle during the musical numbers in the second half, courtesy of a group of tots who’d made it their mission to have a good time. Also, how good it was to escape from the pressures of modern life and enjoy an evening of unbridled fun. Until January 2. Tickets are available from 0161 928 1677 or www.altrinchamgarrick.co.uk
