Wedding bells are ringing for Gareth and his pregnant girlfriend, Shirley.  However, the marriage isn't exactly having the most auspicious of beginnings.

Things between Shirley and Gareth's cocky brother Kenneth have not been as innocent as they appear, and when Gareth finds out, his own relationship with Shirley comes under considerable strain.

Further, the newlyweds struggle to escape from the influence of Gareth's domineering mother, Doris, and set up home on their own.  Meanwhile poor old Grandad keeps getting stuck in the outside loo, and he isn't even sure whether Shirley married Gareth or Kenneth!

A Night on the Tiles is a warm, funny and realistic look at the difficulties of family life.  As Brian Bennett of the News Post Leader wrote of our production:

Family situations and values inevitably lead to a chain of events and a fair sprinkling of squabbles.  However, the glaring reality is that the Players deserve every accolade for bringing so much authenticity to this production.
