29th April to 3rd May 2025 at Stantonbury Theatre, Milton Keynes
Welcome to Whitbury New Town Leisure Centre, the empire of Gordon Brittas, a man with a unique management style and a dream! In what is just a typical week for the centre, the long-suffering staff and customers face an investigation into a theft, the visit of a local area inspector, gross insubordination from a deputy manager and a safety drill that ends in chaos.
Based on the popular BBC TV series by Richard Fegen and Andrew Norriss (starring actor Chris Barry), we are very excited to be putting on this premier of a brand new stage adaptation, written by MKTOC’s own Steve Clark and Emma Dell, which has been developed with the full collaboration and support of the original writers.
