In 1988, two school friends from Birmingham, Edward and Peter, took a bold step by coming out to each other. Edward revealed his homosexuality, while Peter, with even more audacity, proudly proclaimed his love for ABBA. Nearly thirty years later, fate brought them together once again. This time, they decided to take a risk and form the world's first ABBA tribute band in drag. The ensemble consisted of Edward in dazzling platform boots, Peter donning a colorful wig and an impeccable ABBA costume, and a group of talented musicians who brought the music of ABBA to life.
The Way Old Friends Do, a play by Ian Hallard, delves into the lives of Edward and Peter as they embark on this unconventional journey. The play premiered at Birmingham Rep in 2023, directed by Mark Gatiss, before embarking on a successful UK tour, including a run at Park Theatre in London.
The play is a tender and laugh-out-loud comedy that explores themes of devotion, desire, and the enduring friendship between two men. It offers theatre companies and drama groups a unique opportunity to captivate their audiences with a vibrant and entertaining production. The play's humor, combined with its heartfelt moments, creates a memorable experience that will leave audiences in stitches.
The Way Old Friends Do is a testament to the power of friendship and the courage to pursue one's dreams. It reminds us that even in the face of adversity, true friendship can withstand the test of time and that sometimes, the most unlikely partnerships can lead to the most extraordinary adventures.
