Pains Plough to Present BROKEN BISCUITS

By:

Innovative touring company Paines Plough return to the Studio Theatre with Broken Biscuits, an hilarious and heart-warming tale of young friendship, from Tuesday 15 - Saturday 19 November.

'The point is: we're losers. Nobodies. Carry on like this, we're losers forever. And we don't have to be. Fresh start, two months to completely one hundred per cent reinvent ourselves. And I know exactly how we can do that.'

Megan, Holly and Ben are definitely not the cool kids. But Megan has a plan. One long summer holiday to change their lives. One sure path to coolness. One amazing transformation, through the power of song.

Holed up in Megan's garden shed, three friends try to change their fortunes in a beautiful, laugh-out-loud, coming-of-age story for our times. Rock on.

Co-produced with Live Theatre, written by Tom Wells (Jumpers For Goalposts) with original music by Matthew Robins and directed by Sheffield University alumni and Co-Artistic Director of Paines Plough James Grieve (Translations), Broken Biscuits is a joyous celebration of teenage friendship and the transformative power of music.

Broken Biscuits comes to the Studio Theatre from Tuesday 15 - Saturday 19 November. Tickets can be purchased from Sheffield Theatres' Box Office in-person, by phone on 0114 249 6000 or online at sheffieldtheatres.co.uk and are priced £14.00 (a transaction fee of £1.50 (£1.00 online) applies to all bookings made at the Box Office, excluding cash).
