Product Information

Who doesn’t love a day at a theme park? This is one that is sure to keep both the stags and the hens happy and you’ll have a lot of fun and bonding time as you take on the likes of Oblivion as a group. If you’re looking to celebrate your hen or stag party in Liverpool, then look no further than Casa Italia Pizzeria and Pastificio.

Whether your sten group are beer drinkers or more the G&T kind, there are plenty of beverage-centric tours and experiences for you to enjoy together. Unlike the other two monologues, I added more movement to this monologue. This was firstly because its a much more upbeat monologue in the first place. Also because Bernadette is meant to be quite intoxicated! And you don't see many drunk people standing still and talking well for such a long time. I made sure to relax my feet a lot more, when it came to this monologue to allow me to move around a bit. I paid a lot of attention to how much I was moving and swaying however, because I know when you get nervous you can start to shift your weight and its really distracting! As a little part of my rehearsals, I would hold my right hand as though I was holding a beer glass or something of the sort. This isn't something that was necessary but it just helped me build up my character, and I felt as though it just worked. I made a lot of my arm movements a lot bigger than I normally would, again to represent the over-confidence of a drunk person, which is where the imaginary beer glass in my hand worked. Obviously the monologue is all about this midget guy chatting her up, so I set out to make sure I was directing any quotes in the monologue towards the floor, as though he really was extremely short! Pit your female friends against your partner’s mates with an assault course. The guys won’t know what they’re in for! You could make this super competitive by all wearing Team Bride or Team Stag t-shirts. If you think you might feel like you’ve missed out on having separate events, then you could be super extra and just do both! Eddy (Teddy Scotchmer) is palpably disillusioned and on edge, the captain of a local football team that is also keen to be protective of his peers. That said, for a twenty-first century discerning audience there’s something a tad outdated and, dare I say it, unimaginative about a woman’s future seemingly hanging in the balance, only to be suddenly placed on relatively more solid ground by a man who swoops in and sets her straight by telling her what to do. Aside from that, it is, by and large, fun as befits the setting (of the nightclub, that is, not the conveniences therein) of this energetic show.Like I said, I performed this monologue really recently to my voice class, and annoyingly it went so, so much better than it did for this assessment! I felt like the accent was a lot clearer and I sustained it throughout the entire monologue better than I had done for Sally. But I also made Bernadette a much larger and louder character! I was too reserved and going into Issie when performing it for Sally, but for Karen I became the character a lot more. I think this was because I had the class as my audience. I know I definitely have an element of wanting to make people laugh and because I'am relatively confident with doing this within my class, I felt like I could really just go for it and really over do the accent and the drunkeness and the talking to the midget. It also helped a lot that I got a lot of audience reactions from doing all this...the monologue is meant to be funny so it helped that I got the class laughing; although it did put me off my lines for a second or so! I was so annoyed with how my performance of this monologue went in comparison to when I performed it for Karen, but I think I know understand that I work better when working off of people. In this case, I had the audience to work off, as soon as they were laughing and reacting, I knew I could go further with it. But with Sally, I had no reaction (and I can expect to get no reaction from a proper audition situation) which gave me no indication as to make more of it! I think this counts for me outside of acting as well, which is interesting. Russel has an ear for dialogue and an eye for the ironies of life, especially when his characters are following petty conventions. His keen insight makes 'Stags and Hens' his best play after 'Educating Rita'. The ending is neatly left open, but the fatal words "who'd be married today if we took notice of how we feel?" stay behind to haunt us. Situated in the scenic rural area of Bathgate and within travelling distance of both Glasgow and Edinburgh, Lothian Glamping is the perfect destination for a unique holiday experience away from home and its luxurious family pods are perfect for every occasion.

So what do you think, can you imagine having a Sten Party together with your partner instead of a traditional hen do? Or perhaps you will decide to do both and enjoy the best of both parties! One of Liverpool’s longest-established eateries which has been serving the people of Liverpool for more than 40 years, the popular, authentic Italian restaurant has a great atmosphere be it day or night. Willy Russell's Stags and Hens is a magnificently vulgar assault on the threadbare idyll of young love and marriage. An engaged couple unwittingly roll up at the same seedy club for their stag/hen parties. Russell is accurate and affectionate, with occasional wonderfully surrealistic flights of fancy, improbably triggered off by tedious surburban paraphernalia like the accoutrements the couple is supposed to need for the simple business of coffee-making. A bustling eatery with a traditional Italian interior, Casa Italia seats 120 downstairs and the upstairs is available for private parties and functions for up to 60 people. All food is prepared on the premises daily, from the pizza dough right down to the home-made tiramisu.The one-stop destination for all the hen fun you could ever need. Get the vocal cords ready for some karaoke classics, get competitive with a round of prosecco pong or limber up to throw your best shot in their dart or axe lanes. The play is set in a trashy 1970s disco in Liverpool, England. The action is mainly in the gents and women's toilets of the disco where both Linda (The Bride) and Dave (The Groom) have decided to hold their stags and hens nights, not knowing that their other half is at the same place. When Linda's ex-boyfriend, Peter, arrives this causes an uproar between Linda and Dave's friends and when Linda's hen party get a say in all whats happening the two groups gang together to stop Linda taking up the offer of an escape with her ex Peter she is then forced with a difficult decision – to stay or to go. [4] [2] Characters [ edit ] Stags and Hens is a play written by Willy Russell. Like most of Willy Russell's work, the play discusses working class society in England in the 1970s. It makes comments about the working class' intellect, life, party habits and the exclusion of the different. Contents
