The Thackray Arms

Alan Plater

For those that are not already in the know, the website for the Great Jake Thackray musical www.sisterjosephine.com has now become www.thethackrayarms.com to reflect the new working title of the stage musical project. The site is up and running, and new progress should be reported there shortly.

The Great Jake Thackray Musical, which toured to great acclaim and with huge success in 2005 under the title of Sister Josephine Kicks The Habit, is to have a major makeover for its national tour, now being scheduled for 2007.

Already in development under the watchful eye of advisory executive producer Alex Armitage, head of the Noel Gay Organisation, Jake's musical is now back on the work-bench following writer Ian McMillan's decision that writing for the theatre is not where he feels most comfortable. Whilst making it wholly clear that he would not let the project down, Ian invited the producers to look around for someone else to take responsibility for the show's book (script).

We're delighted to announce that Alan Plater, one of the UK's foremost screenwriters and dramatists, has enthusiastically accepted the invitation to take on the role of writer of The Great Jake Thackray Musical.
