Coronation Street legend William Roache made a rare red carpet appearance as he joined a whole host of his current and former co-stars for a night out at the theatre. The actor, who has played Ken Barlow in the ITV soap since its inception in 1960, headed to The Lowry in Salford to see Mother Goose.
The smash-hit production is starring acting royalist Ian McKellen as Mother Goose and comedian and actor John Bishop as Vic Goose, and is playing in Greater Manchester this Easter until Sunday (April 9). It has been written by Jonathan Harvey, who also writes on Corrie, and sees Mother Goose and her husband Vic run an Animal Sanctuary for waifs and strays.
They live a wholesome life inside an abandoned Debenhams but when a goose flies in, will fame and fortune get the better of them? Will Ma’s feathers be seriously ruffled? And Will Pa tell everyone to get stuffed? And is their fair life about to turn fowl?
