BRADFORD writer and TV actress Jennifer Banks is bringing her award-nominated comedy to her home city.

Strife in a Northern Town was inspired by Jennifer’s time in the city, and she hopes to add a much-needed working class voice to contemporary theatre.

Jennifer spent much of her teens in Keighley and, as well as doing work experience at the Keighley News, worked for Bradford Council sending listed building notices to Keighley houses.

Her play, Strife In A Northern Town, debuted in Manchester last year and was nominated for the Funny Women Best Show Award 2017.

Jennifer is also an actress, appearing in Coronation Street earlier this year and having a role in upcoming feature film Mrs Lowry and Son starring Timothy Spall and Vanessa Redgrave.

Strife in a Northern Town is the story of various inhabitants of the random town,.

There’s Donna and Tracey who work at the local supermarket. Donna hates customers, but Tracey loves ‘em – especially round the back of the totes.

And receptionists Pepsi and Lulu work at the town hall. They’re ‘frenemies’ who lick Weetabix for lunch so they can slim down into their wedding dresses.

There’s also Kay and Val, who are star-crossed lovers. Val loves her pooches but Kay’s got a dog phobia, an allergy to cheese and a ranty, armchair-bound mother, Maureen – who hates Clare Balding.

Jennifer said: “When things start to go wrong for all of them, their seemingly unconnected stories entwine in a hilarious, fast-paced tale of sex, death, corruption, friendship, family and Latvian cigarettes.

Strife In A Northern Town is performed at Bradford Playhouse from June 9 to 16. Age 18-plus.
