JEFFREY Holland and Nichola McAuliffe are starring in the premiere stage production of the BAFTA-nominated ‘Waiting for God’.

The production is coming to Guildford’s Yvonne Arnaud Theatre from Tuesday, May 2, to Saturday, May 6.

‘Waiting for God’ thrilled television audiences across five primetime BBC series in the 1990s.

This all-new script is penned by the sitcom’s creator Michael Aitkens and directed by Tony Award winner David Grindley.

All the favourite characters from the original series have been reimagined for 2017, facing the challenges that come with growing old disgracefully in the era of the silver surfer.

At Bayview retirement home, battle-axe extraordinaire Diana Trent conspires with new resident Tom Ballard to give the conniving manager his comeuppance with unexpectedly heart-warming results.

The cast of nine is led by Jeffrey Holland as Tom Ballard and Nichola McAuliffe as Diana Trent.
