Vera is officially a record breaker in Whitley Bay after an event celebrating the much love drama broke box office records at the Playhouse.
As fans wait for the remaining two episode s of Vera series 11 to be shown by ITV and keep an eye out for news of when the recently hot 12th series will be on television, the Playhouse team delivered some very exciting news earlier this week, announcing that leading lady Brenda Blethyn, her on screen sidekick Kenny Doughty and Ann Cleeves, the author who gave the world DCI Vera Stanhope, would be appearing at a night in honour of the iconic crime character.
As soon as details of the Viva Vera event, taking place on September 1, were posted on the theatre's social media channels, the response was insane, with the Facebook post commented on thousands of times and shared hundreds more. There was an equally sizeable reaction to ChronicleLive's story on the show when it was posted on Facebook as well, which meant there was great anticipation for tickets going on sale on Friday, as fans hoped they'd manage to get their hands on some.
