A new stage adaptation of the comedy drama ‘The Syndicate’, starring TV actress Gaynor Faye, is coming to The Lowry this May.
The show is based on the critically acclaimed BBC One drama that entertained millions of viewers over four series and comes to The Lowry, Salford from Friday May 17 to Sunday May 19.
The stage adaption is based on the first TV series and tells the story of five supermarket workers whose lottery syndicate numbers come in, just as their jobs and livelihoods are under threat.
The show was written by the BAFTA Award winner Kay Mellor just before her passing in 2022. Kay Mellor was also Gaynor Faye’s mum.
Gaynor Faye said: “The Syndicate is very close to my heart for so many reasons and it’s fitting that this production is a real family affair, as we welcome Oliver to the company too. I know that he will make an amazing addition to the cast.”
Gaynor’s son Oliver Anthony makes his stage acting debut in the role of Jamie. His TV acting credits include the award winning My Left Nut, Fat Friends and series four of the BBC’s The Syndicate.
Gaynor’s acting credits include roles in Coronation Street, Emmerdale, series four of the BBC’s The Syndicate and numerous stage tours including Calendar Girls and Band of Gold.
The star cast also features Samantha Giles and Brooke Vincent. Samantha, known to millions as Bernice Blackstock in the hugely popular long running soap Emmerdale – plays the role of Denise. Samantha recently exited the soap after 14 years, with her character going on the run to avoid her debt.
She will be joined by Brooke Vincent as Amy. Brooke is best known to TV viewers as Sophie Webster in Coronation Street, a role that she played from 2004-2019, and has recently been hosting the Drivetime show for Hits Radio.
