‘LADIES Day’ is coming early to Burley-in-Wharfedale and all bets are on for a fun-filled evening watching this exuberant comedy directed by Tony Clegg.
Burley Theatre Group’s latest production follows the antics of a fish-filleting foursome from Hull as they ditch work and head off for a day at the races.
Work, love and life are hard for Pearl, Jan, Shelley and Linda but will their fortunes change when they head to Ladies’ Day at York Racecourse?
