Married on the same day in the same chapel, they gather to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. The celebrations are short lived when they discover the vicar wasn’t licensed and they are actually not married. In fact, they have been living in sin for 25 years.

When We Are Married is directed by Barrie Rutter who is joined in the cast, by Sue Devaney - Dinnerladies and - Coronation Street; Steve Huison - The Full Monty, Coronation Street, Emmerdale; Kate Anthony - Coronation Street and Adrian Hood - Dinnerladies, the film Brassed Off and All Quiet on the Preston Front.

“When We Are Married is the quintessential Yorkshire comedy with an absurd plot overflowing with authentic attitudes of the day; fun for the cast as well as the audience,” said Barrie.
