About the show

Starring TV favourite Les Dennis as maintenance man Stan, this brand-new adaptation marks the first production of Victoria Wood’s work to be brought to the stage by her estate.

Originally written by and starring Victoria Wood, dinnerladies became one of Britain’s most adored comedies thanks to its sharp humour, warmth and brilliantly observed characters.

Now Stan, Bren, Tony, Dolly, Jean, Twinkle, Anita and the rest of the canteen crew are back for a fresh helping of laughs, chaos and classic Victoria Wood comedy.

A delicious dose of nostalgia is back on the menu.
