Theatre: The Good Life
Overview
Join a friendly group of Spicers to watch the latest production at Altrincham Garrick Playhouse - your host will meet you in the bar which is downstairs, from 7pm.
Tonight we see THE GOOD LIFE A Comedy stage play, based on the hugely popular sitcom
When Tom and Barbara Good decide to exchange the pressures of the rat race for an alternative, more sustainable way of living, they set about turning their suburban home in Surbiton into a model of self-sufficiency. They grow their own fruit and veg, keep livestock in the garden, make their own clothes, and even generate their own electricity from manure.
It's the good life for them – but not for Margo and Jerry Leadbetter, who live next door, and are desperately trying to maintain the Surbiton status quo.
Jeremy Sams' stage play, based on the hugely popular sitcom by John Esmonde and Bob Larbey, reunites the well-loved characters (not forgetting Geraldine the goat) as they get themselves into and out of scrapes – some old, some new, all hilarious.
Tapping into issues that resonate now more than ever, The Good Life is a witty reimagining of a television classic, with a wellyful of laughs that's sure to delight audiences everywhere.

By Public Transport: The Garrick is about 800m (a 10-minute stroll) from each of the following stations, served by both Northern trains and Manchester Metrolink trams: Altrincham Interchange and Navigation Road.
The Garrick is situated on Barrington Road, a major bus route and there are bus stops on both sides of the road very close to the theatre.
Parking at the Garrick: There is a reasonably-sized car park, which offers free parking including spaces reserved for disabled parking. The car park can quickly become full for the most popular performances – filling up sometimes half an hour before a show begins.
Alternatively, there are numerous opportunities for parking on residential side streets within a couple of minutes’ walking distance. Parking there can also sometimes be limited and again you are advised to come as early as possible if you want to park particularly close to the theatre.
Please park considerately, avoiding blocking any access for local residents – thank you.
The bar is normally open at least 45 minutes before each performance, so their advice is: arrive early, park early, and relax in the cosy bar before the show!
