Let the good times roll as a new play based on a hit TV series is coming to Norwich Theatre Royal.
The Syndicate, starring Timothy Spall and Joanna Page, was a huge hit when it first aired on BBC One in 2012 and there were four series in total.
It was written and produced by “titan of TV” Kay Mellor, with her daughter Gaynor Faye the series script editor.

Gaynor is also an actress, with credits including Emmerdale and Coronation Street.
The first series has now been adapted for the stage by Kay in her final theatre project before her untimely death two years ago.
Gaynor is the director of the new play and she also stars in it alongside Emmerdale’s Samantha Giles and Coronation Street’s Brooke Vincent.
