The classic corporate comedy!

Written and premiered on Broadway in 1953, The Sold Gold Cadillac is a sparkling satire from the golden age of American comedy about a small shareholder taking on big business – with unexpected results!

Mrs Laura Partridge is an elderly lady. She holds a few shares in the General Products Corporation of America. Recently retired from the stage, she decides to use some of her new-found leisure time to attend a shareholders' Annual General Meeting. At first, the newly promoted senior management of the G.P.C.A. barely register her presence. But not for long - when it comes to confirming their massive salary increases by proxy vote, they find she has some rather awkward questions to ask....

The cast is lead by Patricia Routledge.

The Solid Gold Cadillac was written by George S Kaufman and Howard Teichmann and this new production is directed by Ian Brown, the Artistic Director of the West Yorkshire Playhouse.
