Following a season at Birmingham Rep, The Way Old Friends Do Tour will visit theatres including its London premiere at the Park Theatre. The Way Old Friends Do Tour In 1988, two school friends tentatively come out to one another: one as gay, the other - more shockingly - as an ABBA fan. Nearly thirty years later, a chance meeting sets them on a brand-new path and they decide to form the world’s first ABBA tribute band - in drag! But can their friendship survive the tribulations of a life on the road which includes platform boots, fake beards and a distractingly attractive stranger? A story that will appeal to anyone who understands how it feels to be a fan: of ABBA or of anyone.  Simultaneously tender and laugh-out-loud funny, this heartfelt story, written by and starring Ian Hallard (The Boys In The Band) is directed by Mark Gatiss (Sherlock, Dracula, Doctor Who, The League of Gentlemen). The cast includes Donna Berlin (Doctors) James Bradshaw (Endeavour), Sara Crowe (Olivier Award winner for Private Lives), Andrew Horton (Jupiter’s Legacy) and Rose Shalloo (Call The Midwife). This wonderfully uplifting play also features the voices of two of the UK’s best-loved performers, Miriam Margolyes and Paul O'Grady. https://youtu.be/1QvjaFjgvFI THE WAY OLD FRIENDS DO PRODUCTION PHOTOS Photos: Darren Bell The Way Old Friends Do Tour Dates This tour has now concluded
