Accrington during 1914 – 1916. The “Pals” are the men from the local volunteer battalion who march high-spiritedly off to the Great War. Their experiences in the trenches contrast with those of the women left behind. At times funny, at times sad, this play paints a moving picture of the changes in civilian life during wartime, especially from the point of view of the women.

A hilarious comedy. The legendary Inspector Drake is back to face his greatest ever challenge as he attempts to unravel a plot with more twists in it than, well, a really twisty thing. Who is the mysterious Doctor Short? Has he murdered his fourth wife or did she murder him first? Has he really got two daughters called Sabrina and why is there a lamppost in the living room? You can see the jokes coming but still laugh when they arrive. Comedy and timing at its best, this is a fun-filled evening’s entertainment.

Grace is the widow of a vicar, Bardolph. She is welcoming his successor – a lady vicar, and her husband. Grace’s sister, a missionary, has come home to help Grace get over her husband’s death.

A comedy drama. Kale Moor Grocery Depot is the supply depot for a chain of down-market supermarkets. Under the imaginative guidance of Bruce “The Games Master”, work here is an endless round of food sports (sprout tag, Smartie-and-flan tiddlywinks, frozen fish sword-fighting), much enjoyed by the all-male night-shift workers. But a major change is due, for their new colleague is not a born games player but is – even worse – a woman! A woman who can see through the childish antics of the men to reveal the insecurities and weaknesses beneath. At first relations are reasonably civilised, but the gloves come off when the cerebral challenge of murder-mystery role-playing is presented to the team. It originally starred Stephen Tomlinson and Mark Benton.
