From high farce to poignant observation the laughs keep coming!

Confusions is a set of short plays: Mother Figure, Drinking Companion, Between Mouthfuls and Gosforth’s Fête. Each play deals riotously, but with sharply pointed undertones, with human eccentricities and the universal dilemma of loneliness; a mother unable to escape from baby talk, an unsuccessful seduction attempt, a fraught dinner encounter and a disastrous fête.

This is a classic Alan Ayckbourn comedy presented on the 50th anniversary of it's first production.

On the train Kay meets an old magician, Cole Hawlings, who charges Kay with safeguarding a wondrous device that has time-travelling powers.

He must protect both the Box of Delights and, with it, the people he loves.

The Box of Delights is a magical and festive adventure in which one boy must confront the secrets of the past to defeat the evil in his present. The future of Christmas itself depends upon him.

The Voyage of the Carcass

1899, somewhere in the Arctic — the remaining survivors of the shipwrecked Carcass are on their last thread of sanity after years stranded in the ice.

This absurdly dark comedy takes us to the very ends of the earth in a slapstick battle between humanity and hubris.

A brand new musical adaptation of this popular children’s picture book.

Arthur Miller’s play written in the early 1950s, is set in Salem, Massachusetts, during the infamous 1692 Salem Witch Trials. This era was marked by paranoia, hysteria, and deceit, which tightly gripped the Puritan communities of New England. Miller's narrative not only meticulously captures the historical backdrop of the witch trials but also serves as a potent commentary on the perils of mass hysteria and the dire consequences of unquestioning conformity.

The themes explored in The Crucible resonate strongly today, offering a cautionary tale about the fragility of justice and how easily fear can be exploited for political or personal gains. This riveting and powerful play is now regarded as a modern classic, demonstrating the timeless relevance of its message.
