Now, let’s talk about the plot, shall we? Written by the dynamic duo Ed Waugh & Trevor Wood, this cheeky comedy takes us back to the late '90s (cue the nostalgia, folks!). Picture this: three cleaning ladies, armed with mops and a whole lot of sass, find themselves in a bit of a pickle when retirement knocks on their door a tad too early. But instead of dusting off their slippers and settling into a life of daytime TV and knitting, these ladies decide to shake things up! (And boy, do they shake it!)

What’s their grand plan, you ask? Well, they take a leap from scrubbing floors to running a “special” call center after hours. (I mean, who knew cleaning could lead to such... interesting opportunities?) With a sprinkle of wit, a dash of charm, and a whole lot of mischief, "Dirty Dusting" promises laughs and unexpected twists that’ll leave you in stitches! (And possibly questioning your own career choices!)

⚠️ But hold your horses! Before you grab your tickets and run to the theater, we must issue a friendly warning: this play contains some adult references. (You know, the kind that might make your grandma raise an eyebrow!). Audience discretion is advised, and it’s suitable for ages 16 and up. If you’re under 16, make sure to bring along a parent or guardian—because let’s face it, you don’t want to be the one caught giggling at the wrong moment!

So, gather your friends, family, or that one quirky neighbor who always has the best stories, and prepare for a night filled with laughter, surprises, and a whole lot of fun! "Dirty Dusting" is not just a play; it’s an experience that’ll have you talking long after the final curtain call. (And who knows, you might even pick up a few "cleaning" tips along the way!)

 

Stay tuned for more updates, behind the scenes pics, and we can’t wait to see you there! Let’s make some memories, one laugh at a time!
