A COMEDY about trying to find romance in the age of the Internet and speed-dating will be performed at Otley next weekend.
Reform Theatre will present Hopeless Romantics, a play about the plight of a 'non-elective celibate', Alan, at the Courthouse at 7.30pm on Saturday, May 13.
The story revolves around Alan's decision to invite a girl who is on work experience to his judgmental parents' anniversary dinner, to pose as his girlfriend for the night.
Unfortunately for him, she turns out to have romantic problems of her own...amongst other things.
Reform Theatre wowed Otley audiences with their performance of John Godber's play The Debt Collectors.
This year Nick Lane, a close confidante of Godber's and the writer of hit comedies My Favourite Summer and Me and My Dad, has returned to the company and teamed up with Fiona Wass to create Hopeless Romantics.
A Courthouse spokesman said: "We are thrilled to welcome back Reform Theatre after their sell-out performance of The Debt Collectors."
Written in association with Harrogate Theatre and Middlesbrough Theatre, tickets for the play's Otley production cost £12 and can be booked by visiting otleycourthouse.org.uk, calling (01943) 467466 or popping into the Courthouse on Courthouse Street, Otley.
