CALAMITOUS comedy Groan Ups comes to the main stage of Coventry’s Belgrade Theatre from February 28 to March 5.
The farcical tale up of growing up follows an unruly classroom of six-year-olds as they journey through anarchic teenage life and through to adulthood.
This comedy asks the real questions – do we choose who we become? Is the story of our lives already written? Do we ever really grow up?
The play was written by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields and is being performed by the Mischief theatre company.
Groan Ups premiered in the West End at the Vaudeville Theatre in September 2019 and also featured on the Royal Variety Performance in the presence of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Co-writer Henry Lewis said: “Groan Ups is about how life becomes more complex, how much (and sometimes how little) things change over time, and about how events in our youth can change our lives forever.
“But at its heart, Groan Ups is a joyful comedy, finding its fun in the madness of childhood, the agonies of adolescence and all the ridiculous things we do when we all finally pretend to be adults.”
Tickets for Groan Ups are available online here where there are discounts or by calling the box office on 02476 553055 between 10.30am and 2pm Monday to Saturday.
