STARS of cult 80s TV show The Young Ones will reunite on stage next month in a brand new comedy written by themselves.

Audiences can join the comic legends on the Icelandic wastelands of Vulcan 7 for one week only at Newcastle Theatre Royal next month.

British actor-comedians Adrian Edmondson and Nigel Planer rose to fame playing iconic characters Vyvyan and Neil in the BRIT award-winning TV classic The Young Ones and The Comic Strip Presents…and have performed together in Filthy, Rich and Catflap and in the spoof band Bad News.

In their latest comedy Vulcan 7 the long-time off-screen friends will co-star as former drama students Gary Savage and Hugh Delavois, one a plodding actor, the other a struggling Hollywood star, both in their 60s who are reunited on the set of a fantasy movie.

Vulcan 7 is written by Edmondson and Planer and directed by Steven Marmion.

It is presented by Jonathan Church Productions and Theatre Royal Bath Productions in association with Yvonne Arnaud Theatre.

It is on a Newcastle Theatre Royal between Monday, October 8 and Saturday, October 13 at 7.30pm.

Matinees are on Thursday and Saturday at 2.30pm.

Tickets are available from £14.50 and can be purchased from the Theatre Royal Box Office on 08448 11 21 21 or at www.theatreroyal.co.uk
