These wonderful photos by professional theatre photographer John van Eerde are from early in Louise's career (all photos copyright by John van Eerde). The play is Mike Harding's Fur Coat and No Knickers, an outrageous farce that centres around the wedding of Deirdre Ollerenshawe (played by Louise) and Mark Greenhalgh (Peter Howitt).

The fun begins on Mark's stag night, which almost ends in disaster when a very drunk Mark is found chained to a lamppost with a blow-up rubber doll purloined from a night-club. The wedding day itself turns out to be a disaster too, with half the guests (including the priest) suffering from blinding hangovers, and the play ends in chaos when the priest, once again paralytically drunk, stumbles in on the reception clad only in his ecclesiastical underwear and brandishing the blow-up doll!
