The Baker's Wife

The Baker's Wife is a musical romantic comedy - following the events in a small rural village following the arrival of a baker and his younger wife. Teacher, Mayor and Priest lead their supporters in the village through a time that seems turbulent in 1930's France.

This production took place at The Montgomery Theatre, Surrey Street, Sheffield S1 2LG (not Kelham Island as previously advertised).

The show is by the renowned team of Joseph Stein (Fiddler on the Roof; Rags) and Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin, Wicked). Mark Harris directs, and musical direction is by Andy Collis.

"When you live someplace where nothing changes year after year, a small event can be big - it can even change your life ..."

The Montgomery Theatre is in the city centre. The traditional style theatre is accessed by a large number of steps, and is therefore not fully accessible. Details on 0114 272 0142.
