British pantomime!!  there's nothing quite like it:  men dressed up as women; women impersonating men; audience sing-a-longs; cheering the heroes; hissing the villains;

a fun night of songs and laughter with the odd custard pie thrown in!!

OK, we may not get any snow, but this Christmas, Stephen Lee (in association with Playlovers) offers you the chance to see CINDERELLA,  a full traditional pantomime, full of laughter, magic and music. (more…)

A new musical "lovingly ripped off" from the motion picture Monty Python and the Holy Grail From the original screenplay by Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin.

The smash hit Broadway and West End musical is a highly irreverent parody of the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, and their quest for the Holy Grail and features a chorus line of dancing divas, serfs, cows, flatulent Frenchmen, killer rabbits and a legless knight. The original 2005 Broadway production won three Tony Awards, including Best Musical. (more…)

Ernest and Delia are off out to dinner to celebrate their wedding anniversary, a disaster that sends them back to bed to celebrate with pilchards on toast whilst worrying about their son, Trevor, and his wife Susannah. Meanwhile, Malcolm and Kate are preparing a house-warming party to which Susannah and Trevor have been invited, as have Jan and Nick. But Nick has hurt his back and hopes to rest quietly in bed, sending Jan along on her own, where she may run into her old flame – Trevor. And so the evening continues…… This production has now closed

The Pillowman

By Martin McDonagh

Directed by Matt Longman

A VERY black comedy A fiction writer living in a police state is abducted and interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories and their disturbing similarities to a string of child-murders that have occurred in the local area. This multi award-winning play is challenging with a surprising blend of pathos and high comedy.

New York Times - “energizing…a blindingly bright, black comedy” Sydney Morning Herald - “…brutal, and brutally funny”

 

WARNING - Coarse Language, violence and disturbing subject matter.This production has now closed
