Two former Waters Green Medical Centre employees are seeing a play their created be performed.
Girl in Isolation by Macclesfield and Congleton culture collective West Kingston Productions will have another showing 13 months after the October 2021 premiere.
Macclesfield musician Jack Mitchell Smith who penned the songs to the local play is delighted to announce that the show will be returning this winter.
The one-time return of the play set in March 2020, will take place just a short drive from Macclesfield, at The Old Saw Mill in Congleton on Sunday 20 November 2022.
The comedy-drama sees an eccentric young woman caught at the beginning of a global pandemic in lockdown in her one bedroom apartment in the big city.
During the maiden Congleton performance, Girl in Isolation was received warmly by two enthusiastic crowds as its engrossing monologue was performed expertly by Shannon Kirrane.
Macclesfield Congleton Road resident Jack Mitchell Smith co-produced the play with his creative partner Lesley Creaser Guymer.
The two first met as colleagues at the Waters Green Medical Centre on Sunderland Street.
"West Kingston Productions are extremely proud and excited to present to you for one final time - Shannon Kirrane as Sally Whittaker in 'Girl in Isolation'," said Jack.
"It is returning for one afternoon only, to be recorded for radio purposes.
"Bring along your performing talents as we invite you to not only watch, but also to join in, as we require sound for our radio play and we will need people to do it for us!"
"The play is preceded by a delicious afternoon tea provided once again by The Old Saw Mill café, the original and final home of Girl in Isolation."
Tickets cost £30 with afternoon tea, or for £15 performance only (with limited availability).
