COMING SOON:

Season 1 2012: 7 March to 24 March 2012 (Matinees 11 March and 18 March.) Bookings

Glorious A comedy by Peter Quitter. Directed by Doug Bennett.

An hilarious and heart-warming comedy about the worst singer in the world. In 1940's New York, the performer who everyone wanted to see was Florence Foster Jenkins. Florence, a delusional but joyously happy woman who paid little attention to her critics, had a passion for singing, but a voice which left audiences crying with laughter. Based on a true story, the play spins from Florence's charity recitals and extravagant balls, through to her bizarre recording sessions and ultimate triumph at Carnegie Hall.

Season 2 2012: 30 May to 16 June 2012 (Matinees 3 June and 10 June.) Bookings

M*A*S*H A lighter side of war by Tim Kelly. Directed by Adrian Carr.

Based on the book by Richard Hooker.
In a mobile army surgical hospital in Korea, life can be either extremely stressed or downright boring - it is always in danger! The arrival of two new surgeons provide not only expert surgical skills but also comic relief to one little corner of the war. The madcap and unpredictable Hawkeye and Duke decide to wage a campaign to get a young Korean boy to the United States and entered into a good school. What follows is an ever increasing pileup of hysterical comic adventures.

Season 3 2012: 22 August to 8 September 2012 (Matinees 26 August and 2 September.) Bookings

The Woman In Black A drama/thriller by Stephen Malatratt. Directed by Loretta Bishop.

Based on the novel by Susan Hill
A spine chilling tale about a lawyer who hires an actor to tutor him in telling a troubling story to his friends and family surrounding the events which transpired at the funeral of an elderly recluse, where he saw the "woman in black", a terrifying ghost who haunts the neighbourhood where her illegitimate child was accidentally killed. Anyone who sees this ghost dies! The lawyer has invited some friends to watch as he and the actor recreate the events of that dark and stormy night.

Season 4 2012: 7 November to 24 November 2012 (Matinees 11 November and 18 November.) Bookings

Calendar Girls A comedy by Tim Firth. Directed by Alan Burrows.

A group of ordinary middle-aged women, members of a very ordinary Yorkshire Women's Institute, do something quite extraordinary. They create a global phenomenon by persuading one another to pose for a charity calendar with a difference! As interest snowballs, the women find themselves revealing more than they'd ever planned... Based on the film starring Helen Mirren and Julie Walters, which in turn was based on an inspiring true story, Calendar Girls is a quirky, poignant and hilarious tale, and was the most successful play to ever tour the UK.
