What's On @ Chads Theatre

A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams
Powerful, poetic, and unflinchingly intense, A Streetcar Named Desire is a landmark of modern theatre that crackles with desire, delusion, and decay. When Blanche DuBois arrives in New Orleans seeking refuge with her sister Stella, she collides with the brutal, magnetic force of Stanley Kowalski setting in motion a devastating clash of fragility and raw power. A masterpiece of American drama, it exposes the cracks beneath illusion and the destructive pull of truth. Sensual, tragic, and unforgettable, this is theatre at its most raw. Note that there are 2 performances on Saturday 12th September:- the matinee at 2:30pm and the evening performance at 7:45pm. This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
The Girl on the Train adapted from the DreamWorks film by Rachel Wagstaff and Duncan Abel
Taut, atmospheric, and gripping from the very first moment, The Girl on the Train is a thrilling drama which follows Rachel as she becomes entangled in a missing persons investigation that blurs the lines between truth, memory, and obsession. As fragmented recollections collide and secrets surface, nothing is quite what it seems. Dark, suspenseful, and emotionally charged. A journey into deception, desire, and the unreliability of perception. Note that there are 2 performances on Saturday 24th October:- the matinee at 2:30pm and the evening performance at 7:45pm. This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
Oleanna by David Mamet

Oleanna by David Mamet

10 Nov 2026 - 14 Nov 2026

Arguably David Mamet's most controversial play, Oleanna is a thought-provoking exploration of power and perception. When a university professor meets with a struggling student, their conversation - a casual choice of words, a lack of attention to the job in hand, a thoughtless offer of help - soon sends their teacher/student relationship, and the balance of power therein, spiralling out of control. Oleanna is a theatrical experience which challenges its audience to examine their own interpretations of authority, and where truth ends and lies begin. Note that there are 2 performances on Saturday 14th November:- the matinee at 2:30pm and the evening performance at 7:45pm. This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International on behalf of Josef Weinberger Ltd.
The Unfriend by Steven Moffat

The Unfriend by Steven Moffat

5 Dec 2026 - 12 Dec 2026

Sharp, surprising, and irresistibly funny, The Unfriend is a brilliantly dark comedy about the perils of modern politeness. When an overly friendly holiday acquaintance invites herself into a couple's home, what begins as awkward hospitality soon spirals into something far more sinister. Blending laugh-out-loud humour with deliciously twisted turns, this clever play skewers our fear of confrontation and the absurd lengths we'll go to avoid social discomfort. The Unfriend is a wickedly entertaining reminder that sometimes, being polite can be downright dangerous. Note that there are 2 performances on Saturday 12th December:- the matinee at 2:30pm and the evening performance at 7:45pm. This amateur production is presented by arrangement with NICK HERN BOOKS.
The Revlon Girl by Neil Anthony Docking
Tender, moving, and powerful, The Revlon Girl tells the story of a group of women brought together by unimaginable loss. Set in the aftermath of the Aberfan disaster, these mothers meet weekly to support one another through grief - until the arrival of a visitor offers an unexpected chance for healing. Balancing warmth, humour, and heartbreak, this deeply human play celebrates resilience, friendship, and the small moments that help us carry on. A moving and uplifting tale of community, courage, and endurance. Note that there are 2 performances on Saturday 30th January:- the matinee at 2:30pm and the evening performance at 7:45pm. This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
Bull by Mike Bartlett

Bull by Mike Bartlett

23 Feb 2027 - 27 Feb 2027

Sharp and unsettling, Bull plunges into the brutal world of office politics, where ambition turns colleagues into predators. Three employees battle for survival as they await a crucial meeting that will decide one of their fates. What begins as casual banter quickly escalates into a ruthless game of psychological manipulation. With biting dialogue and relentless tension, Bull exposes the cruelty that can lurk beneath professional smiles. This fast-paced play will leave audiences questioning how far people are willing to go to get ahead - and what it really costs to win. Note that there are 2 performances on Saturday 27th February:- the matinee at 2:30pm and the evening performance at 7:45pm. This amateur production is presented by arrangement with NICK HERN BOOKS.
Lady Windermere's Fan by Oscar Wilde

Lady Windermere's Fan by Oscar Wilde

13 Mar 2027 - 20 Mar 2027

Sparkling and witty, Lady Windermere's Fan was Oscar Wilde's first successful play, exploring with all Wilde's elegance and humour themes of marriage, social class and morality, as they affected 'society' in the late Victorian era. A whirlwind of gossip, intrigue, and mistaken intentions - where reputations are fragile and appearances are everything. Bursting with Wilde's signature epigrams and razor-sharp humour, this timeless classic delights with its elegance and clever twists, while revealing the complexities beneath polite society. A glamorous and irresistible theatrical treat. Note that there are 2 performances on Saturday 20th March:- the matinee at 2:30pm and the evening performance at 7:45pm.
Noises Off by Michael Frayn

Noises Off by Michael Frayn

15 May 2027 - 22 May 2027

Hilarious, fast-paced, and brilliantly chaotic, Noises Off by Michael Frayn is a masterclass in comic timing and theatrical mayhem. What starts as a struggling touring production quickly unravels into a riot of missed cues, backstage feuds, and onstage disasters - where everything that can go wrong, does. Peeking behind the curtain, this farce reveals the madness of making theatre, with doors slamming, props flying, and tempers flaring in perfect comic harmony. Noises Off is an unmissable celebration of live performance at its most gloriously unpredictable and is regarded by many as the best farce ever written. Note that there are 2 performances on Saturday 22nd May:- the matinee at 2:30pm and the evening performance at 7:45pm. This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
