In the exotic French Riviera, Lawrence Jameson has made his living for many year by smooth talking rich, single women out of their money but then he bumps into Freddy Benson who is also in the swindling game Freddy's approach is more humble and laid back as he cons women with emotional lies about his family and his personal financial circumstances. Initially deciding to form a double act, their egos soon clash and it quickly becomes obvious the French coast isn't big enough for the two of them! They decide on a competition to agree who can stay and who must leave town with the winner being the first to swindle $50,000 from Christine Colgate - the latest young heiress in town. However, is Christine really all she seems? Hilarity and confusion ensue as the two men pull out all the steps to prove they are the best con man in town.

For one night only we are presenting an evening of fantastic Women's monologues. Act 1: The Regina Monologues by Rebecca Russell and Jenny Wafer. Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived A modernisation of the stories of Henry VIIIs six wives. Admired, vilified, de-humanised. Three Catherines, two Annes and a Jane. Six women with one thing in common marriage to a man called Henry - have passed into historical legend. Of course, it couldnt happen these days... Six modern women have also married one man. Their lives are both separate and intertwined as they tell their stories from a room in which they have all once lived. Their experiences miscarriage, love affairs, betrayal, and a shared loathing of all things ginger are portrayed with humour, pathos and a great deal of wine. The plight of those sixteenth century women is personal, poignant and still relevant five hundred years on. NB: Whilst Regina Monologues balances comedy with drama, it is not suitable for under 16s as it contains references to sexual abuse, self-harm and miscarriage Act 2: Comedy monologues and songs from the pens of Willy Russell, Alan Bennett, Victoria Wood and more. 20th April marks 20 years since we lost Victoria, so it is a perfect time to pay tribute to her unique, irreplaceable talent.
