On Your Way Riley!
This stage play traces the dramatic off-stage relationship between Arthur Lucan and Kitty McShane, while on stage and screen they were entertaining huge audiences with the antics of Old Mother Riley and her wayward daughter Kitty.
"On Your Way, Riley!" was written by prolific writer and playwrite Alan Plater (Pictured below), who was born in
Jarrow, but brought up in Kingston-upon-Hull, the play ran from 16 February to 5 March 1983.
