A Rainbow Over Sheffield

A new play written and directed by David Wrightam

Set in a run down flat in Sheffield, the play will have the audience laughing one minute and crying the next. Rusty is a prostitute, and she and her friend Mavis run a business from their flat. This mainly involves dressing up to re-enact scenes from famous films for kinky pensioners.

Rusty dreams of breaking away and starting a new life, but breaking away from her violent pimp will take some doing. A visit from her young sister triggers a series of events that lead her to see a flicker of light in the tunnel, and a chance for a new life. But life is cruel, and rainbows don’t last forever. A cruel turn of events puts her in a position where she must … (now that
would be telling!)

Performed at The Caxton Theatre, Cleethorpe Road Grimsby

Opens Saturday 5 September through to Saturday 12 September 2026
