EASTENDERS actor Danny Hatchard, The X Factor star Jake Quickenden and Coronation Street's Bill Ward are among the star names set to appear in The Full Monty when it is on stage in Southampton later this year. 

They will star alongside Neil Hurst, best known for TV's All Creatures Great and Small,m and Ben Onwukwe and Nicholas Prasad, who have both starred in Eastenders and Doctors for the BBC at Mayflower Theatre in November. 

This fast and funny play is still very much of our time, as again we are hit by a cost of living crisis. Gaz and his mates are down on their luck and feel they have been thrown on the scrap heap, but they are determined to fight back and bare a little more than they ever thought they would have to.

As in the 1997 smash hit film, this brand-new production is a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs, laughs and heartbreak.

It runs from November 7 to 11. Tickets from mayflower.org.uk
