The BBC sitcom Two Doors Down is set to be adapted for the stage, with the full television cast reprising their roles. The production will take place at Glasgow's Hydro from 25 to 27 September next year.
Alex Norton and Arabella Weir will return as Eric and Beth, whose home on Latimer Crescent is regularly visited by their neighbours. Elaine C Smith will reprise her role as Christine, while Doon Mackichan and Jonathan Watson will reunite as the couple with an intense interest in others' affairs. Graeme Stevely and Joy McAvoy will play the younger couple, with Jamie Quinn as Ian and Kieran Hodgson as his partner, Gordon.
Set in Eric and Beth's house, the plot centres on a significant announcement from Ian and Gordon. The sitcom, created by Simon Carlyle and Gregor Sharp, has run for seven series, having started as a one-off special in 2013 before moving from BBC2 to BBC1. Carlyle died in 2023 at the age of 48.
Sharp said: "It's always a treat to go to the Hydro to see a show so it's a dream come true to be bringing Two Doors Down to such an amazing venue with the full cast from the TV series. They are an incredible group of performers, and we can't wait to welcome the audience into Beth and Eric's home where we can guarantee there will be some surprises as well as the odd person behaving entirely true to form!"
In a tribute to Carlyle following his death, Sharp said the show's success lay in "the comedy of recognition", with audiences seeing "the truth of the characters and recognising people from their own life in them".
