A classic BBC comedy that captured the hearts of viewers in the 1970s has made a triumphant return to our screens. The beloved sitcom, The Good Life, ran for four successful seasons from 1975 to 1978 and has now been revived for a new generation to enjoy.
Written by the talented duo of Bob Larbey and John Esmonde, the show follows the story of Tom Good, a middle-aged man who decides to escape the pressures of modern life by becoming self-sufficient. Alongside his wife Barbara, Tom embarks on a journey to live off the land in their suburban home in Surbiton. The series stars the brilliant Richard Briers and Felicity Kendal as the Good couple, with Penelope Keith and Paul Eddington playing their hilariously uptight neighbors, Margo and Jerry Leadbetter.
Now, almost 50 years after its original run, The Good Life has been reimagined for the stage by director Verity Ramsden. The play, currently showing at the Green Room Theatre in Carlisle, promises to bring a fresh and entertaining twist to the beloved characters and their comedic antics.
Audiences who have already had the pleasure of attending the show have been raving about it. Julie shared her experience on Facebook, saying, "Had a great time at The Good Life last night...great production and very funny xx." Lisa also couldn't contain her laughter, sharing, "We had a great time watching The Good Life on Tuesday. What a hoot! All the actors were good, but Felicity's facial expressions were hilarious and Margo was brilliant - loved the dinner party scene!
