Book Online/More info
He’s been Up’n’Under with Rugby League, On the Piste and even gone Wrestling Mad! Now Hull Truck’s Joint Artistic Director and BAFTA award-winner John Godber brings the art of Crown Green Bowling into the spotlight with a brand new bitter sweet comedy.
Crown Prince follows the fortunes of Jack Batley, the ‘Rocky Balboa’ of the sport, in this touchingly funny look at Crown Green Bowls. The cut and thrust of the Beech Hill Bowling club comes to the Hull Truck stage, as Jack, who is a legend on the bowling green, battles to keep his title! But the world is changing fast, come hell, Hull or high water, Jack will not let go of his title of ‘Crown Prince’ of the bowling green!
Crown Prince welcomes a cast of three favourites back to the Hull Truck stage, Rob Angell (Christmas Crackers), Jack Brady, (Wrestling Mad) Martin Barrass (Ladies Down Under) and Sarah Parks (Men of The World 2002) join forces to recreate the challenging world of Crown Green Bowls!
Booking is well underway, and Hull Truck is offering a fantastic two for £17 premiere week ticket offer for tickets bought between Thursday 31st May and Wednesday 6th June only.
