Rapture Theatre Company

A wonderfully funny and poignant trip back to the 70s written by Catherine Johnson - directed by Michael Emans.

Rapture Theatre take its feel-good gem of a play – to the Granite City.

Take a step back in time to the days of the Bay City Rollers, with memorable fashion and unforgettable music.

Written by Catherine Johnson (writer of the hit musical Mamma Mia!), Shang-a-Lang followsthree 40-something Scottish women on their way to a 70s revival weekend in Butlins, where the Bay City Rollers are playing. They were all Rollerettes back in the day and decide it is time to recapture their youth, chase their unfulfilled dreams and have a ball while they do it.

Shang-a-Lang follows the girls on their journey down the tartan trousered memory lane of the 70s as they search for love, the meaning of life and Woody. All this while Lauren tries to stay sober, Jackie tries to stay married and Pauline continues to search for her Woody.

Shang-a-Lang is the perfect girls' night out laced with laughs, tears and a fabulous soundtrack - a cross between a Scottish Shirley Valentine and Shameless.

Please note that “Shang a Lang “ is a play, not a musical. Please also note: In the comedic style of the play, the show contains strong language, scenes of a sexual nature and nudity.
