Times Table by Alan Ayckbourn

April - 9 May 2009
About
the Show
A
committee meets to plan a pageant about the “Pendon Twelve”,
an obscure moment in local history. We follow the disorganised
and increasingly desperate committee members, all of whom have
their own personal agendas, through their meetings, to the final
staging of the pageant. Needless to say, all does not go to plan….
A comedy which will appeal to anyone who has ever been on a committee.

Gumshoe
by S. Denver and D. Woodward
Directed
by Gayle Poor & Lois Fleming
11
- 20 July 2009
About
the Show
A
spy musical: meet Hunter, a shabby, down on his luck P.I. Enter
Peta Steele, street-wiser and wiser-cracking journalist. Only
by joining forces can they outwit their growing number of adversaries
as they trip around the globe. This show takes a look at the sleazy
side of a P.I.’s life, with action, danger a-plenty, slapstick,
dames, crooked cops and corny gags. Gumshoe is a spectacular show
that makes an impact.

Off
the Hook by Derek Benfield
Directed
by Paula Armstrong

- 19 September 2009
About
the Show
The
lounge bar of Hook House, a quiet hotel somewhere in the English
countryside, is the scene for mayhem as an assortment of guests,
expected and unexpected, arrive. Why does a cupboard door lead
to a cellar, and just where have the proceeds from a former robbery
been hidden? Add in at least one escaped prisoner, plus those
looking for him, and the scene is set for a classic farce.
