About this show
John and Jeremy own a bar. Once their father’s, it now belongs to these two hunks of meat: the manliest men in town. With the help of a waitress, this team of three run the bar on lip-syncing, line-dancing and 7am pints. That is, until a name from the past shows up in town after years. Now, the truth about why he left is about to come out... Join an all-female cast in a geographically ambiguous US town in the 80’s, as they charm you with their impressive facial hair and ability to down a pint of Budweiser.

Beyond the well-timed jokes, flash-mob line-dancing, and confusion of stereotypes, Last Orders is a wonderfully escapist, amusing, and ultimately sweet queer comedy.
— The Student (4 out of 5 stars)
With its all-female cast, this production gleefully pokes fun at hypermasculine stereotypes, puncturing the swagger of Jeremy and John with a steady stream of camp one-liners.
— Corr Blimey (4 out of 5 stars)
Buds and bros get complicated at the Bedlam Theatre in Last Orders, one of Edinburgh University Theatre Company’s selected shows this year. Occasionally baggy but buoyed by the joy of its own silliness, this absurd…
