Synopsis

The Ladies are back!

Pearl, Jan and Linda set off for a long-awaited break on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne. It's definitely not a hen do, as Linda keeps reminding them a week before her wedding.

Linda wants a weekend of quiet contemplation but soon finds her best-laid plans derailed. When a surprise visitor turns up, their retreat becomes a reunion and pretty soon, a riot. They haven't seen Shelley for years but what's changed? Quite a lot, they'll discover.

Cut off from the mainland, tensions rise with the tide. The island is restless too, with echoes of the past in the cold air. As the sky grows dark, the winds of change blow skeletons from closets. Past, present and future collide. As the dawn breaks, will the four friends see themselves in a new light

Following the smash-hits Ladies' Day and Ladies Down Under, Amanda Whittington's Ladies Unleashed is the third in the Ladies Trilogy. A moving comedy about friendship, growing older and living for today, it was premiered by Hull Truck in 2022.
