Coronation Street's newly-departing Sue Cleaver (as of tonight, Friday), is to join the cast of Theatr Clwyd and Bolton Octagon's production of comedy Snake In The Grass.
After 25 years on the cobbles as Eileen Grimshaw, Sue's first post-Corrie role is in a revival of the Alan Ayckbourn dark comedy about a middle-aged older sister who returns to the family home and incumbent younger sister, shortly after their abusive father's death.
The production premieres at Theatr Clwyd in Mold (September 15-October 4) before moving to Bolton (October 9-25).
Sue had played matriarch Eileen Grimshaw since 1994, as well as appearing on Loose Women, I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and in the UK Tour of Sister Act.
She is joined on stage now by Oldham-born actress Nicola Stephenson, whose stage credits include Our Country’s Good (Lyric Hammersmith), Mumsie (Hull Truck) and The Empress (RSC); and in TV's Maternal, Father Brown and The Long Shadow.
Completing the cast is Lisa Zahra, who returns to Theatr Clwyd after appearing in 2021's stage play and screen adaptation of Tim Price's Isla.
