Victoria Wood’s acclaimed sitcom Dinnerladies is set to return with a new stage adaptation, over a quarter of a century since its television debut. The production marks a significant moment, being the first commissioned by the late comedian’s estate since her death in 2016 at the age of 62.
Veteran entertainer Les Dennis has been cast as maintenance man Stan, with the full ensemble for the Dinnerladies stage show yet to be announced. The new play promises a story inspired by the original TV series, bringing back beloved characters including Stan, Bren, Tony, Dolly, Jean, Twinkle, and Anita, all set within the familiar Manchester canteen.
