The evening takes a sharp turn away from the merriment, and in Willy Russell’s unmistakable style, the play combines comedy with acrid truth, and hits off brilliantly the herd instinct driving both sexes onward and bed-ward. If both the bride and groom are big HP fans, then why not drag all your besties along to the Warner Bros Studio Tour near London?

If you’re wondering if you should have a joint stag and hen party then there are a few things to consider. This might not be to everyone’s taste to begin with, but a cooking class means you get to all do something together, and then reap the rewards after by sitting down to eat together. Whether your sten group are beer drinkers or more the G&T kind, there are plenty of beverage-centric tours and experiences for you to enjoy together.

Stag Weekends

Thirdly, consider whether you and your partner would be happy to forgoe the traditional single-sex stag and hen parties and instead just have one big event together. Casa Italia won the British Restaurant Awards' Best Restaurant in Liverpool in 2019, and featured in OpenTable's Top 100 Best Restaurants in the UK 2021. Escape rooms are a really popular Sten Do activity as they’re well suited to lots of different players and can be done all over the country. His first play was 'Keep Your Eyes Down Low' written in 1971. His first success was a play about The Beatles called 'John, Paul, George, Ringo and Bert' which opened in the West End in 1974. His best-known works are 'Educating Rita' (which was made in to a film in 1983), 'Shirley Valentine' (filmed in 1989), and the musical 'Blood Brothers'. Russell has written songs since the early 1960s, and has written the music to most of his plays and musicals. Ogh...God! Did y'see the state of him. An; he was serious. He tried to get off with me1 He was all of four foot nothin'. You should have given yours the elbow straight away. Didn't y'see me tryin'? "Are you stayin' up?" he says to me. All three foot six of him starin' up at me. I said "I don't know about stayin' up, don't y' think y' better sit down before y' get trodden on." He didn't have any feelings. He just ignored everythin'. He wouldn't take no for an answer. I said to him, "Look son, I'll let y' into a secret, it's no use tryin' it on with me, I'm a lesbian..." It did no good. "That's alright", he said, "I like a challenge," By this time I'm dancin' away again, hopin' no-one'd see me with him. And honest to God, he's so small he kept gettin' lost. I'm just walkin' away when he appaears again. "Goin' for a drink are we?" he says, I said to him, "Ey you'd better run along, Snow White'll be lookin' for you." Ey he didn't get it though. "Oh I'm sorry", I said, "But I thought you were one of the seventh dwarfs." He started laughin' then, y'know, makin' out he's got a sense of humour. "Oh yeh", he says, "I'm dozy," I said "Your'e not friggin' kiddin'..." I'm walkin' away an' he's shoutin' after me "Ey I'll see y' in the bar, I'll be in the bar. I said "Yeh, an that's the best place for you, along with every other pint that think's it's a quart!"

Russell adapted the play into a TV movie called Dancin' Thru the Dark, which was filmed in 1990. Plot Russel has an ear for dialogue and an eye for the ironies of life, especially when his characters are following petty conventions. His keen insight makes 'Stags and Hens' his best play after 'Educating Rita'. The ending is neatly left open, but the fatal words "who'd be married today if we took notice of how we feel?" stay behind to haunt us.The play is set in a trashy 1970s disco in Liverpool, England. The action is mainly in the gents and women's toilets of the disco where both Linda (The Bride) and Dave (The Groom) have decided to hold their stags and hens nights, not knowing that their other half is at the same place. When Linda's ex-boyfriend, Peter, arrives this causes an uproar between Linda and Dave's friends and when Linda's hen party get a say in all whats happening the two groups gang together to stop Linda taking up the offer of an escape with her ex Peter she is then forced with a difficult decision – to stay or to go. [4] [2] Characters Like I said, I performed this monologue really recently to my voice class, and annoyingly it went so, so much better than it did for this assessment! I felt like the accent was a lot clearer and I sustained it throughout the entire monologue better than I had done for Sally. But I also made Bernadette a much larger and louder character! I was too reserved and going into Issie when performing it for Sally, but for Karen I became the character a lot more. I think this was because I had the class as my audience. I know I definitely have an element of wanting to make people laugh and because I'am relatively confident with doing this within my class, I felt like I could really just go for it and really over do the accent and the drunkeness and the talking to the midget. It also helped a lot that I got a lot of audience reactions from doing all this...the monologue is meant to be funny so it helped that I got the class laughing; although it did put me off my lines for a second or so! I was so annoyed with how my performance of this monologue went in comparison to when I performed it for Karen, but I think I know understand that I work better when working off of people. In this case, I had the audience to work off, as soon as they were laughing and reacting, I knew I could go further with it. But with Sally, I had no reaction (and I can expect to get no reaction from a proper audition situation) which gave me no indication as to make more of it! I think this counts for me outside of acting as well, which is interesting. This article needs additional citations for verification.
