A PLAY is to preview at the Theatre Space in Winsford this August, before heading to the Edinburgh Fringe.

Dan Freeman’s A Joke stars Sylvester McCoy, the seventh Doctor Who, Richard Oliver and Robert Picardo.

The play will take place on Friday, August 11 and Saturday, August 12, before heading to the Edinburgh Fringe on August 14.

It is described as “an existential comedy exploring the commonalities of structure between jokes, stories, music and life. Three characters, apparently born into a void, try to work out where, when, who they are and whether the joke is, in fact, on them.”

Tickets are limited and priced at £20. The ticket includes a programme autographed by all of the cast.
