The hilarious and touching tale, recently commended by national theatre critics as an exuberantly up-to-the-minute comedy will be staged in the town's New Stewarton Area Centre at 7.30pm on
When the curtain rises the audience soon see that work, life and love are just one long hard slog for fish factory workers Pearl, Jan, Shelley and Linda. Friends together through the gills, the guts and the guys, these likely lasses' fortunes are set to change when Linda finds tickets to Ladies Day at Royal Ascot. After years of fish-filleting the pals are ready for a spot of filly-fancying, but the question is; is Royal Ascot ready for them?
Out go the hairnets, overalls and wellies as the foursome doll themselves up to the nines, don some eye boggling hats, and head off to the races for a drink, a flirt and a flutter. The foursome, who are themselves fish out of water, are absolutely determined to make the most of this once in a lifetime opportunity to mix it with the aristocracy ...... but it turns out that they spend more time mixing with a drunken punter, a suicidal jockey and a dubious tic-tac man who bears an uncanny resemblance to Channel 4 racing pundit, John McCririck Fred the ticket tout)(Johnnie McPherson),Suicidal Irish jockey, Patrick (Jim Goldie), Drunken punter, Kevin (Roy Graham), Lost love, Barry (David Robertson) Sleazy tic-tac man, Jim (Walter Findlay) who bears an uncanny resemblance to Channel 4 racing pundit, John McCririck.
