The farce
Move Over Mrs Markham
by Ray Cooney and John Chapman
Directed by Rod Goddard
Henry
and his business partner Phillip will hit the big time if
they can
sign million-selling, but ultra-prudish children's author Olive Harriet
Smythe. Their meeting with her, by some quirk of fate, coincides with
Henry's dalliance with his paramour, his wife's unexpected return and
the arrival of a camp interior designer and a sexy blonde Swedish au
pair. True to the laws of farce the hapless pair strive to keep the
parties apart with hilarious consequences.
Saturday,
November 24 - Saturday, December 1

The Dresser
by
Ronald
Harwood
Directed by Melvin
Warhurst and Mike

Sir,
the last of the great actor managers is in a very bad way tonight. He
has difficulty remembering who he is, let alone King Lear's lines. With
Herculean effort Norman, his dresser, gets him on stage and eventually
through the night's performance, despite the efforts of the Luftwaffe
and a sadly depleted cast.

The
comedy murder mystery
Busybody
by Jack Popplewell

by Chris Sturmey
A
murder has been committed. Office cleaner and busybody Mrs Piper
discovers a corpse which promptly vanishes when Inspector Baxter
arrives to carry out an investigation. Even with no apparent evidence
of a crime Baxter is eventually persuaded to continue his
investigation, enthusiastically "assisted" by Mrs Piper. Motives and
suspects abound before the final conclusion is revealed in this amusing
and intriguing paradox.
Monday, June 23 - Saturday, June 28
