The Courier
Set in the late 1970s this hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the era of the Rolodex is outrageous, thought-provoking, and even a little romantic. Our six-show production run in the Royal Spa Centre was from Tuesday 19–Saturday 23 March 2024 at 7.30pm, with a Saturday matinée at 2.30pm. Tickets cost from £20 (£12 for limited view seats or under 16s anywhere in the theatre).
About the show
Pushed to the boiling point, three female co-workers concoct a plan to get even with Hart, the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy – giving their boss the boot! While he remains "otherwise engaged", the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. Hey, a girl can scheme, can't she? Originally produced on Broadway by Robert Greenblatt, in April 2009.
