Bad Reception

Synopsis: Classic British sitcom humour abounds in this hilarious original comedy from Penrith playwright Zoë Badder.

Up in a small village in remote Inverness you’ll find a tiny hotel, run by the eccentric Duncan Ross and his long-suffering wife Mandy. When two warring sisters arrive for a post-funeral holiday with an unbearable mother-in-law, chaos ensues. Throw in an odd travel writer, some escaping parrots, a dark secret and a chef you’d rather you never met, and you’ve booked yourself a stay at The Verness Hotel. So check in, grab a drink and prepare for a weekend you’ll never forget.

Please note: this play contains strong language and some adult themes.
