Tickets now available for Wigan Little Theatre's next production Albert Nobbs
Tickets are now available for Wigan Little Theatre’s latest production: a classic comedy drama.
Albert Nobbs is a play that charms and delights in equal measures, it’s devastatingly painful and delightfully funny.
Often described as A Blithe Spirit for the working class, WLT bosses say it’s going to be a popular production.

Hide AdAfter a life of hard graft, retirement isn’t at all what Albert Nobbs had expected. Instead of relaxing and taking things at a leisurely pace, the curmudgeonly Albert finds himself bored and nagged senseless by his wife Connie.


But Albert’s world is soon turned upside-down by the sudden death of Connie in a road accident, and he struggles to find a reason to carry on - until Connie returns as a ghost and sets about organising a fulfilling retirement for Albert, including matchmaking with her best friend Rose. Despite Albert’s protestations, he gradually learns to overcome his reluctance and begins to explore new opportunities.
