A brand new stage adaptation of Dinnerladies starring stage and TV favourite Les Dennis as maintenance man Stan will be visiting Torquay’s Princess Theatre next year

More than 25 years after it first aired on BBC1 , Victoria Wood's much-loved sitcom is heading to the stage, in the first piece of Victoria’s work to be produced by her estate.

Featuring a story inspired by the original TV series’, the show brings back all the characters audiences know and love from the Manchester canteen.

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. Full casting will be announced later this year.

The show will run at the Princess from May 11 to 15, 2027.
