France, 1940. Tensions are high. The booze is flowing. WW2 is raging. The coolest women on earth are having the what-if dinner party of your dreams.

Someone has a secret. Set in the French Alps in 1940, Steven Carl McCasland’s Little Wars is an enthralling, entertaining and ultimately moving portrait of seven exceptional women – and a thrilling fiction based on truth. Following Friday's performance there will be an After Dark session which is an opportunity to meet members of the cast and creative team to discuss the production.

She Stoops to Conquer @ Crescent Theatre
"Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no fibs.” Oliver Goldsmith's glorious comedy of misunderstanding is one of the greatest plays of the English stage. An ambitious stepmother, impassioned sweethearts, a pragmatic father and a pair of star-crossed lovers are sent spinning through a hilarious comedy of errors by practical joker Tony Lumpkin. Charles Marlow has been invited to visit the Hardcastles’ country home in order to consider engagement to Mr Hardcastle’s daughter Kate. On the way, however, Marlow and his companion Hastings are waylaid by Kate’s step-brother Tony, a practical joker who convinces them that the Hardcastle house is, in fact, a country inn where they will need to spend the night before continuing on their journey. Confusion reigns as Marlow takes Mr Hardcastle for a presumptuous innkeeper and Kate for the local barmaid, an error she happily plays along with to trick him into discarding his shy and formal public demeanour and revealing the rogue beneath. Kate’s cousin Constance, meanwhile, plots to elope with Hastings but first needs to steal her jewels out from under the nose of her controlling aunt, Mrs Hardcastle. Will the mistakes of the night be uncovered before it’s too late? Part of our summer tour, more venues on sale soon.

They have traced the location of a mysterious doll, which they are much interested in, to the basement apartment of Sam Hendrix and his blind wife, Susy. Sam had apparently been persuaded by a strange woman to transport the doll across the Canadian border, not knowing that sewn inside were several grams of heroin. When the woman is murdered, the situation becomes more urgent. The con man and his ex-convicts, through a cleverly constructed deception, convince Susy that the police have implicated Sam in the woman's murder, and the doll, which she believes is the key to his innocence, is evidence. She refuses to reveal its location, and with the help of a young neighbour, figures out she is the victim of a bizarre charade. But when Roat kills his associates, a deadly game of cat and mouse ensues between the two. Susy knows the only way to play fair is by her rules, so when darkness falls she turns off all the lights, leaving both of them to manoeuvre in the dark until the game ends.
