Mam and Rita are more than just Mother and Daughter, they’ve been inseparable for years.

But the arrival of the well groomed Frank at the dance changes their lives forever…

A Quarter of Pontefract Cakes is a wickedly funny but tragic tale from one of Manchester’s most innovative theatre companies, and will have you in tears, both of laughter and sadness.
