Comedy

The lives of Lynette Saxon and her sixteen year-old daughter, Sorrel, aren't looking too rosy.  The man in their lives has left with Lynette's partner, and the business has gone under, following the dot-com bust.  Money is now very tight and although Lynette is looking for another job, they may have to move out of their smart apartment.  Believing that she has to save the day, Sorrel thinks of a way to make some money by taking advantage of the Internet.  She enlists the help of her schoolfriend and neighbour, the slightly dim Kelly Butcher, and half the ensuing fun is in watching the girls set up this rather dubious venture.

“Ayckbourn at his unsurpassed best”

Drama

This inventive drama examines the lives of three of the most studied and discussed writers of all time. Spurred by their brother’s tumultuous personal life, the motherless sisters Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë write in their remote home on the Yorkshire moors. The real and the imagined collide as the characters the sisters have created come to life. The play explores how a trio of Victorian spinsters could have produced some of the most passionate literature ever written.

“Brontë is a theatre experience not to be missed.”

Farce

John Smith is a London cabbie with his own taxi, a wife in Streatham, a wife in Wimbledon - and a knife-edge schedule!  By strict adherence to this schedule, he has been a successful, if tired, bigamist for three years, but one day, gallantly intervening in a mugging, he is taken to hospital with mild concussion.  In the ensuing complications, John tries bravely to cope with a succession of well-meaning but prying policemen, the press, two increasingly irate wives and a very gay neighbour, until he manfully confesses the truth......but no one believes him!

Drama

In the 1960s two nuns suspect a priest, Father Flynn, of foul play with the first black student at a certain Catholic school in America. Sister Aloysius is a righteous nun who is certain that he represents a danger to the boys at the junior high school she rules with an iron fist, while the other sister is torn between the apparently harsh nun and the seemingly kind priest.  Is this really a caring priest helping boys improve themselves or a sexual predator?  Father Flynn’s conduct and his responses to Sister Aloysius are full of ambiguity. They could be completely innocent, but once we approach them with the doubt of the play’s title, they can support a different conclusion entirely.

Comedy

A motley crew of villagers join together to save their local railway line from closing down: they decide to run it themselves. Fighting petty bureaucracy is a difficult enough task, without being hindered and sabotaged at every turn by the dastardly Vernon Crump who is set on providing a rival bus service. Join the wealthy publican, the barmaid, the vicar, the Lady of the Manor, the poacher, the policeman and their opposition for a romp through the British countryside.

An affectionate parody of the 1953 Ealing Comedy film.

Comedy Drama

Little Voice lives alone with her mother Mari, whose sole purpose in life is to find a man. When Mari's latest catch, Ray, hears Little Voice's impersonations of famous singers, he rushes to exploit her talent and, as a result, destroys her. Finally, however, Little Voice regains the courage to speak and sing in her own voice. This Jim Cartwright comedy is in turn savage, sentimental, wonderfully funny and incredibly moving.  Not to be missed!
