What's On The Killing of Sister George Performance Dates (click on venue link to book tickets) Friday 21st April - Saturday 13th May 2023 New Vic Theatre, Newcastle-Under-Lyme "We are delighted to be co producing ‘The Killing of Sister George’ with the wonderful New Vic Theatre. Their tradition of producing highly theatrical, entertaining and original work strikes a real chord with Told by an Idiot. This is a collaboration in the best sense, and we look forward to engaging with the great audiences in Newcastle-Under-Lyme" Paul Hunter (Artistic Director - Told by an Idiot) A much-loved character on Applehurst, the BBC soap opera, Sister George is a cheerful nurse who cycles around the countryside singing hymns and doing good. In reality, June Buckeridge the actress is a swaggering, foul mouthed loose cannon who has very little in common with her radio persona. Due to low ratings, cut backs and Junes own bad behaviour, the BBC decides “Sister George” has to go…for good! Told by an Idiot bring their unique visual flair and audacious blend of laughter and pain to this cult classic from the 1960s. The Killing of Sister George is an iconic black comedy shot through with surprising moments of tenderness. It was famously filmed, with Beryl Reid in the title role, and is now reinvented for the extraordinary space that is the New Vic. Join us for the unexpected, some great laughs and a cracking night out.
