Presented by Calibre Productions Ltd
A new stage adaptation by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais

After successfully bringing Dad’s Army and ‘Allo ‘Allo! to the stage, Calibre Productions return to the King's Theatre with a real ‘coup de theatre’ – the first ever professional stage adaptation of the BBC’s hit comedy Porridge.

Penned by the original writers Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais - the same fabulous team who brought Auf Wiedersehen, Pet to our screens - this hilarious new play features all your favourite Porridge characters.

So prepare for laughs-a-plenty as Fletch, played by Shaun Williamson (EastEnders and Extras), Godber and the other inmates of Slade Prison take on the system under the nose of the ever suspicious Mr Mackay in what promises to be a sure-fire comic treat for the whole family.

Director Gavin McAlinden,  Designer Paul Wills
