Billy Liar was last performed by the company in 1974. Director Olivia Brooks said: “The majority of the cast are young people who weren’t born last time round but the play is as relevant today as it was back then.”

James Bryan, who plays Billy, and Lilly Beards, play Rita, one of his girlfriends, are both children of Hasland Theatre Company members.

The season will include Way Upstream, One Man Two Guvnors, Anne Boleyn and MIndgame.
