When one sees the name "Dirty Dusting" for a theatre production, one's mind immediately wanders to Dirty Dancing and may consider how the two are related, whether it be the plot, the characters etc. As it turns out, though, there is no connection; Dirty Dusting means something very different.

Indeed, Dirty Dusting tells the story of three cleaners working in a factory: Elsie (Crissy Rock), Gladys (Leah Bell) and Olive (Dolores Porretta), who spend their evenings cleaning up the mess left behind by the employees. The cleaners are middle-aged and not exactly satisfied in their roles, yet they all realise that they have no other option at this point. However, things change when a message left behind by a bossy, rude manager (Lee Brannigan) implies that a new team of cleaners will be brought in, leaving the long-time staff to face termination.

Hit comedy Dirty Dusting shines on the Epstein stage

After a sellout UK tour in 2014, the smash hit show Dirty Dusting returns to the stage this year and comes to Liverpool’s Epstein Theatre this October for a strictly limited run.  The play is written by the same team that brought you the hugely popular Waiting For Gateaux, which ran at the theatre earlier this year.

Dirty Dusting stars TV actress and comedian Crissy Rock (Benidorm and I’m A Celebrity), Leah Bell (actress and comedian), Dolores Porretta (Stage and TV actress) and introducing Lee Brannigan.

Gladys, Elsie and Olive are three cleaning ladies who are about to be ‘put out to pasture’ by their overzealous office manager Dave. Feeling they have little chance of gaining employment elsewhere, the ladies have to find a way to make ends meet.

A chance wrong number requiring a Sex Chat Line rings into the office and gives them a great idea… “Why not run a Sex Chat Line?” After all, their age and appearance won’t matter on the telephone and providing they can keep this a secret from their boss, they could be on to a real winner.

Needless to say… things don’t go entirely according to plan.

Dirty Dusting is a heart-warming, laugh-out-loud, feel good comedy that will have you rolling in the aisles and smiling every time you answer the phone.

North East based writers Ed Waugh and Trevor Wood have written eleven successful plays including Dirty Dusting and the popular Waiting For Gateaux, which ran at the theatre earlier this year. The play is also directed by Leah Bell.
