Home | 24th – 29th February 2020
By David Storey. Directed by David Page.
As five apparently unrelated characters meet in a seemingly insignificant garden, the autumnal sun shines overhead and everybody waits for rain.
What they discuss is superficially anything that can pass the time. What is portrayed is the very essence of England, Englishness, class, unfulfilled ambition, loves lost and homes that no longer exist.
“a play…of haunting, elegiac power” The Guardian
Cast:
Harry………………. Ian Evans
Jack………………… Howard James
Kathleen………….. Pauline Wathen
Marjorie…………… Lynn Rushby
Alfred……………… Teejay Hurley

Bouncers Remix | 22nd – 27th June 2020
Bouncers Remix, by John Godber
Directed by Howard James
Bouncers shows a night on the tiles from the point of view of the men on the door. It is a funny, energetic piece of highly theatrical storytelling where the men are at once themselves, and every character they happen to meet on a night at work at the nightclub.
Murder on The Nile | 5th – 10th October 2020
Murder on The Nile by Agatha Christie
Directed by Robert Chambers
Fatal circumstances await a newlywed couple as they embark on their honeymoon voyage down the Nile. Kay Ridgeway has led a charmed life. Blessed with beauty, enormous wealth, and a new husband, she embarks on a honeymoon voyage down the Nile.
Fatal circumstances await when the idyllic surroundings are shattered by a shocking and brutal murder. Under scrutiny is a multitude of memorable passengers, all with a reason to kill. The tension and claustrophobia builds, as a shocking and audacious conspiracy is laid bare.
Bedroom Farce | 7th – 12th December 2020
Bedroom Farce by Alan Ayckbourn
Directed by Paul Marshall
Trevor and Susannah, whose marriage is on the rocks, inflict their miseries on their nearest and dearest: three couples whose own relationships are tenuous at best.
Taking place sequentially in the three beleaguered couples’ bedrooms during one endless Saturday night of co-dependence and dysfunction, beds, tempers, and domestic order are ruffled, leading all the players to a hilariously touching epiphany.
