6 - 14 MARCH

THE GRADUATE
by Terry Johnson

directed by Mike Truman

Benjamin’s got excellent grades, very proud parents and, since he helped Mrs Robinson with her zipper, a fine future behind him. Based on the cult novel, and classic film, this hilarious dark comedy, full of rapid fire dialogue between fascinating and horrifying characters, brings vividly to life Benjamin, the graduate of the title, and his disastrous sexual odyssey. This play explores family dysfunction, parental expectations, crumbling marriages, and the naive, yet disillusioned, dichotomy of youth, against the shiny backdrop of affluent Southern California in the mid 1960s.

5 - 13 JUNE

THE ACTRESS
by Peter Quilter

directed by Trish Richings

The Actress is a witty and touching backstage comedy about fame, family, and farewell. Set in a dressing room on the night of a star’s final performance, it offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the emotional chaos of saying goodbye to the spotlight.
I want to capture both the sharp humour and quiet heartbreak of the play. The setting will reflect the glamour and pressure of theatre life, with fast-paced entrances and moments of deep reflection. At its heart, this is a celebration of performance—and the woman behind the performer.
This production will be a love letter to the stage, balancing comedy with poignancy as Lydia Martin takes her final bow.

4 - 12 SEPTEMBER

THE DEEP BLUE SEA
By Terence Rattigan

Directed By Tim Telford

“To see yourself as the world sees you may be very brave, but it can also be very foolish.”
As we become ever more connected online, many of us are feeling more disconnected than ever. According to the Office for National Statistics, around a quarter of adults in the UK report feeling lonely always, often, or sometimes.
Terence Rattigan’s powerful post-war drama The Deep Blue Sea lays bare the emotional cost of loneliness and longing. Hester Collyer, having left her husband for a younger man, finds herself caught between passion and despair as her fragile relationship begins to crumble.
Written in 1952, this is one of Rattigan’s finest and most frequently revived plays — a portrait of love, loss, and the quiet courage it takes to go on living. With his trademark compassion and precision, Rattigan captures the ache of being human in a world struggling to reconnect.

4 - 12 DECEMBER

MURDERED TO DEATH
By Peter Gordon

Directed By Kim Sanger White

Peter Gordon’s comic spoof on the classic whodunnit genre. This is a murder mystery in Agatha Christie style set in a 1930’s English country manor where an eclectic group of characters are gathered. Join bungling Inspector Pratt and his suffering Sergeant Thompson whilst they weave their way through a series of clues where anyone or anything could be the culprit!
Witty dialogue and slapstick humour with the usual red herrings blend to make this a fun evening’s entertainment. Will the murderer be unmasked before everyone meets their doom or will the audience die laughing first.
