Acorn Antiques

A musical version of the very successful tv series based in the busy antiques shop in Manchesterford. Wrinkly tights, coconut macaroons, eye shadow and Mrs Overall's home-made sherry are all visibly waiting in the wings.

Since the TV Soap Acorn Antiques has long been unceremoniously axed, unable to compete with the likes of Celebrity Breast Implants From Hell, the principals have been reunited to turn the soap into a musical at the Enoch Powell Arts Centre in Sutton Coldfield.

The cast of the axed TV soap, down on their luck and looking for work, have found themselves performing in an experimental opera taking a bleak look at modern Britain. But Mrs Overall won’t let the opera drag her down and starts trying to slip a few more tuneful ditties into the proceedings. As events unravel fate gives her the chance to fulfil her dream of taking a musical based on Acorn Antiques to the West End, with lots of lovely singing and dancing, and a very prominent part for her.
