See How They Run

See How They Run

8 Nov 2025 - 15 Nov 2025

Written by Philip King | Directed byDan Clay Fast, farcical and full of door-slamming chaos, See How They Run is a classic British comedy that delivers non-stop laughs from start to finish. Set in a quiet English vicarage during the 1940s, the play follows the very proper Reverend Lionel Toop and his spirited wife Penelope. But when a nosy parishioner, a visiting actor, a Russian spy, and a case of mistaken identity all converge under one roof, the result is absolute mayhem. Add in a bishop, a borrowed clerical collar, and a fair bit of sprinting around in ones undergarmentsand you've got a recipe for riotous hilarity. With impeccable comic timing, absurd situations, and a pace that never lets up, See How They Run is a joyful romp thats as delightful now as it was when it first hit the stage. A high-energy, laugh-out-loud farce perfect for anyone who loves classic British comedy. Content warning:The play contains comic depictions of violence, wartime references, and some mild innuendo. Suitable for most ages, though younger audience members may miss some of the subtleties (and the vicar jokes).

A Month of Sundays

A Month of Sundays

14 Mar 2026 - 21 Mar 2026

Written by Bob Larbey | Directed by Andrew Husband A bittersweet and beautifully observed comedy, A Month of Sundays takes us inside the walls of a genteel residential care home, where dignity is hard-won and laughter is often the only weapon left. Cooper, a retired man with a sharp wit and even sharper tongue, has chosen to live in a care home rather than be a burden to his family. His days are brightened by weekly chess games and dry-humoured chats with his fellow resident Aylott the only other person who truly gets him. As relatives visit and routines roll on, the two men face the indignities of ageing with resilience, sarcasm and just a splash of whisky. What follows is a gently humorous and deeply human story about friendship, independence, and facing lifes final act with courage and grace. From the writer of The Good Life and As Time Goes By, A Month of Sundays is touching, wry, and quietly powerful. A moving, funny and heartfelt look at growing older with dignity, defiance and the occasional inappropriate joke. Content warning: The play includes themes of ageing, illness and references to death. While comedic and compassionate in tone, some elements may not be suitable for younger audiences. Please note: Doors will open at 7pm for evening performances and 2pm for matinees, to allow our volunteers and cast time to prepare the theatre. If you arrive earlier, you may be asked to wait outside. Thank you for your understanding!
Inspector Drake and the Perfekt Crime
Written byDavid Tristram | Directed by Paul McGowan A baffling murder. A missing sherry glass. A detective with more enthusiasm than sense. Welcome to the wonderfully bonkers world of Inspector Drake and the Perfekt Crime a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud farce that takes aim at every detective clich in the book and turns it completely upside down. When a genius professor is found dead under suspiciously silly circumstances, the ever-inept Inspector Drake and his loyal sidekick Sergeant Plod are called in to solve the case. Clues are misunderstood, suspects multiply, and nothing is quite as it seems (including the spelling of "perfect"). Packed with quick-fire gags, ridiculous disguises, and gloriously daft twists, this madcap murder mystery will have you howling with laughter and guessing all the way to the final, completely unexpected reveal. A riotous spoof whodunnit full of absurdity, wordplay, and brilliant comic timing. Content warning: This show includes mild innuendo and plenty of silliness. Suitable for ages 12+. Please note: Doors will open at 7pm for evening performances and 2pm for matinees, to allow our volunteers and cast time to prepare the theatre. If you arrive earlier, you may be asked to wait outside. Thank you for your understanding!
