Waiting for GOD

Michael Aitkens’ acclaimed stage adaptation of Waiting for God brings the beloved BBC television comedy to life on stage.
At Bayview Retirement Village, sharp-tongued retired photojournalist Diana Trent forms an unlikely alliance with new arrival Tom Ballard, a recently widowed accountant. Together they set out to thwart the schemes of the unscrupulous manager Harvey Baines and his well-meaning assistant Jane Edwards.

Their rebellious antics spark a series of hilarious encounters involving Diana’s ambitious niece Sarah, Tom’s long-suffering son Geoffrey, a dithering vicar, assorted doctors and even an unwelcome undertaker — all adding to a wonderfully comic and unexpectedly touching tale about growing older badly.
Packed with wit, warmth and plenty of mischief, Waiting for God is a delightful reminder that age is no barrier to living life with spirit.

Join Diana, Tom and the residents of Bayview for an evening of laughter that proves growing older can be anything but dull.

WAITING FOR GOD IS PRESENTED BY ARRANGEMENT WITH CONCORD THEATRICALS LTD. ON BEHALF OF SAMUEL FRENCH LTD.
