This production celebrated the 18th anniversary of the opening of the Oasthouse Theatre by reprising the first production staged.

 

The semi-comical story about William Fisher, a working-class 19-year-old living with his parents and grandmother in the fictional town of Stradhoughton in Yorkshire. Bored by his job as a lowly clerk for an undertaker, Billy spends his time indulging in fantasies and dreams of life in the big city as a comedy writer.
