THE WAY OLD FRIENDS DO, written by IAN HALLARD and directed by MARK GATISS _(Sherlock, Doctor Who)_, is a new comedy about devotion, desire and dancing queens.
In 1988, two Birmingham school friends tentatively come out to one another: one as gay, the other - more shockingly - as an ABBA fan. Nearly thirty years later, a chance meeting sets them on a brand-new path and they decide to form the world’s first ABBA tribute band - in drag! But can their friendship survive the tribulations of a life on the road which includes platform boots, fake beards and a distractingly attractive stranger?
Simultaneously tender and laugh-out loud funny, this heartfelt story will appeal to anyone who understands how it feels to be a fan: of ABBA or of anyone.
As an actor, IAN HALLARD’s theatre credits include _The Boys in the Band_ (West End, Whatsonstage Best Actor nomination), _Great Britain_ and _Scenes From An Execution_ (National Theatre).
Director MARK GATISS is best known for his work as an actor, writer and producer on _Sherlock, Dracula,_ and _Doctor Who_, and for being one quarter of comedy troupe The League of Gentlemen.
