Apr 03, 2019, 11:21 AM

Loose Woman Coleen Nolan talks to Corinna about her excitement (and nervousness!) at taking on a starring role in the world premiere of the ‘The Thunder Girls’. A tour de force for women, the play not only has four female leads over 50 but also a female writer, director and producer!

The story focuses on the attempted reunion of an 80’s girl band. Of course Coleen was of part of the original girl band ‘The Nolans’ and she explains what it was like when the group reunited after a 25 year break. Coleen also talks about her passion for wanting to see more women over 50 represented in the theatre and on TV.

The Thunder Girls is playing at The Lowry Theatre, Salford from September 24 – 28 2019. Tickets are available via https://thelowry.com/whats-on/the-thunder-girls/
