A theatre company is hoping to take its performances from the Black Country Living Museum’s cobbled streets onto the screen after producing a pilot programme.

Fizzog Theatre Company has filmed a 25-minute comedy called Black by Day. The episode features some of the colourful characters seen at the Tipton Road attraction over the summer months.

Performers are hoping a producer might take a punt and offer to run a series. They will be promoting the film, recorded by Post Office Studios, at three shows on consecutive nights next week.

Fizzog‘s Deb Nicholls, aged 37, of Cobden Street, Wollaston, said: “We have just finished our fourth season at the museum and the characters are proving quite popular.

“We thought it would be nice to film those characters in a comedy drama, the idea is hopefully to sell it so we can get a series produced.”

Fizzog Theatre Company, made up of Miss Nicholls, 37-year-old Susan Hawkins from Wordsley and Jacky Fellows, 46, of Wombourne, is performing at Thorns Community College in Quarry Bank on February 11.

Shows will follow at the Black Country Living Museum the next day and the Light House in Wolverhampton on February 13. Each performance will start at 7.30pm, running until 10pm.

Tickets, priced £10 or £40 for five, are available by calling 07894 628622 or 01384 816280.
