A highly original, consistently inventive farce. Tom and Linda are in final stages of adopting a baby when brother Dick returns home from a smuggling trip with brandy, cigarettes – and two illegal refugees. Meanwhile Harry, a hospital porter, has embarked on an ambitious plan (involving body parts) to get the price reduced on the house Tom and Linda want to buy. The formidable Miss Potter is expected to arrive to approve the adoption and a suspicious policeman enters. Mayhem ensues.

Based on a famous murder in the 19th century, this is arguably the finest stage thriller ever written. Set in a remote, lonely house on the marshes of the Thames estuary, an ex – actress lives with her companion. A visit from two eccentric sisters who make themselves at home precipitates events, compounded by the arrival of a mysterious nephew. The result is disappearance and murder.

Half a dozen friends and relatives are celebrating Christmas with Neville and Belinda. Various children are also there and their presence is always felt, though they are never seen, and indeed seem to be duplicated in the adults. Squabbles break out and Christmas presents are rifled. Often hilarious and chaotic the play is one of Ayckbourn’s gems.

Fast, funny, with toe curling comedy of campsite manners and social pretensions, the play concerns a slightly dull, slightly snobby middle-aged couple embarking on their first caravan holiday who find their neighbours on the campsite to be younger, working class and above all earthy. Their lives will never be the same again.

Liz Lochhead’s delightful new play is as funny, as touching, and yet emotionally true as anything this supremely humane writer has yet produced. Set in a charity shop it has a lot to say about finding love the second (or third or fourth) time around.

This adaptation faithfully conveys the exceptional emotional power of the original novel. Focusing on the love story between Jane and Rochester, the play begins as Jane arrives in 1846 to act as governess to Rochester’s ward at Thornfield Hall, a place of mystery and fear. This version is a must for the romantics among us, and the lovers of good classic novels will not be disappointed.

Somewhere between Agatha Christie and a Hitchcock thriller. A nightmare of frightening events occurs when, after seven months in hospital following a nervous breakdown, Jan is brought to an isolated farmhouse by her husband Greg, ostensibly to complete her recovery. Greg’s sister arrives and George, a rather strange and slightly demented old farmer turns up. The scene is set for a perfect concoction of suspense and confusion mixed with just the right amount of comic relief.

Popular actor Gary Essendine revels in being a temperamental prima donna. Now separated from his wife Liz, he is constantly pursued by bright young things but when he becomes more deeply involved with Joanna, his manager’s wife, it becomes clear that it will be difficult to extricate himself, Liz returns and tries to resume her control over him.

A selection from Chaucer's classic collection of tales in a full length adaptation. A group of travelers set out for Canterbury on a pilgrimage. To pass the time they entertain each other with a storytelling contest. Best story wins a prize.
