Butlins Skegness, Chalet Number 12, where the Walker women have been holidaying since 1961. This year it's Nana Barbara's Seventieth and everyone's airing their dirty laundry. Loretta's had too many camp cocktails, Jolene has fallen tits over teeth for a Redcoat, Abigail's seeking comfort from her dead end marriage in a suitcase full of toys, and Nana Barbara has a fifty year old secret to share.

Raucus, ribald and ultimately very moving Chalet Lines is Lee Mattinson's startling debut for the new Bush Theatre. A shockingly funny journey through five decades of birthdays, weddings and hen dos, Chalet Lines tackles the difficult questions behind the laughter as it explores whether, in time, all women inevitably become like their mothers?
