St. Helens Theatre Royal, recently showcased The Salon, one of the funniest new adult comedy plays around. The hilarious play, set in a hairdressing salon was written by Drew Quayle and directed Sylvie Gattrill and starred Juice FM's Leanne Campbell as Carol and Daniel O'Brien as Tony. Carol wants to find true love, TIA wants to be a pop star, Sheila wants a toyboy and gorgeous brute and gangster wannabe Tony, wants to add the salon to his growing criminal empire. It makes for none stop laughter and a thoroughly entertaining couple of hours.
