One of many successes at Bath's Mission Theatre, which celebrates its fifth birthday this year, is the Theatre Suppers in the upstairs theatre.

They started with a production of A Visit from Miss Protheroe which was a two-hander with Lesley Langley and Dave Dunn.

The pair are back on Thursday, February 11, this time with John Godber's September in the Rain.

The highlight of the year for Yorkshire miner Jack and his wife Liz is a week in Blackpool taken in the climatically dodgy month of September.

Looking back over their life together and while waiting for the coach to take them home from yet another holiday, Jack and Liz recall memories of the fun and frustrations encompassed in their long marriage.
