Susie Blake is best known to Coronation Street fans as Bev Unwin, mother of long-suffering Rovers barmaid Shelley. Susie is now starring alongside Liza Goddard in two plays by Alan Ayckbourn at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough.
These two Ayckbourn plays are part of a trilogy of scarily creepy comedies and I've been fortunate to see all three over the last few months, taking in two of the plays just this weekend.
Susie Blake is outstanding, especially in Life & Beth in which she plays a booze-addled woman of a certain age who has a crush on a vicar. Liza Goddard is wonderful in both plays too and takes a lead role in Snake in the Grass.
Watching both Blake and Goddard makes me hope for the pair of them to turn up on stage in a re-run of Who Killed Baby Jane?, they're both scarily good together. The third play in the Trilogy is one that has a male cast only in Haunting Julia - and it also comes highly recommended.

Interesting Susie Blake fact no. 24
She's Hayley Mills' cousin.
I always enjoyed Susie Blake on Corrie. I did know that, Sunny Jim. I think i've seen a photo of Hayley Mills at the Wicked opening when Susie Blake was in it last year.
