KIDDERMINSTER theatre fans are invited to witnesses a dysfunctional family affair full of humour and heart.
The Nonentities will stage their latest production of The Herd, a witty and heartfelt play which tackles family life, at the Rose Theatre from Monday, November 4 to Saturday, November 9.
The play follows a small family get-together to celebrate Andy Griffith’s 21st birthday, who has been in a care home for years and is unaware that it's his birthday.
His mother Carol is acutely aware, and she wants everything to go without a hitch, inviting Andy’s elder sister, Claire, and his grandparents, Brian and Patricia.
But, with the arrival of two unexpected guests: Claire’s boyfriend, a Lancastrian performance-poet, and Andy’s father, Ian, who abandoned the family and is loathed by everyone in the room, the celebration might not run so smoothly.
The play takes a look at a family falling apart, and pulling together, when life doesn’t turn out the way anyone had planned.
The production contains language that some may find offensive.

Performances will start at 7.30pm.
