The Grosvenor East Theatre at Manchester Metropolitan University continues its BA Acting Autumn season this week with A Respectable Wedding.
Running from Thu 7 Nov – Sat 9 Nov, the production was originally created by German playwright Bertolt Brecht as a satirical jab at middle-class respectability. Rory Bremner’s translation of A Respectable Wedding transforms this hidden gem into an unapologetically cringe-worthy comedy.
As a couple settle down to enjoy a romantic wedding dinner, their night is flung into disarray thanks to the father’s disgusting tales, a mortifying best man and plenty of squabbling wedding guests. This then exposes the flaws of the bride and groom themselves, resulting in the whole wedding coming crashing down in more ways than one.
In this adaption, Manchester School of Theatre presents an Anglo/Nigerian Wedding, extending the university’s celebrations of Black History Month.
The production, directed by Deborah Yhip, will take place across four shows from at the Grosvenor East Theatre, the public theatre at Manchester Met.
