Band member Benny Andersson gave permission for his song to be used in a Birmingham stage play.
The show tells the tale of two friends from Birmingham who form an Abba tribute band in dragAbba songwriter Benny Andersson has granted rare permission for one of his songs to be used in a new stage play.It was written by Birmingham-born actor and playwright Ian Hallard, and directed by his husband Mark Gatiss, best known for starring in The League of Gentlemen and Doctor Who."Benny knows about it and has given it his blessing," Mr Hallard said.
"Comparatively few things are set in Birmingham and one of the lovely parts about [the play] is the response to the mention of place names like Acocks Green, Shirley and Kidderminster," Mr Hallard said. "To have characters from Birmingham - and who sound like they do - is actually really refreshing and important. I'm very proud of being from Birmingham and to have it here at The Rep, which was a theatre I visited as a child, is a dream come true."
