Our Next Production

THE LAST RETURN

"I do not organise the ticket queue, it is up to the people in the ticket queue to organise themselves. Have I made myself clear?"

Once upon a dreary night, five strangers queue for a last minute ticket to the final performance of the hottest show in town. All they have to do is cross their fingers, be patient and wait their turn. But with more people waiting than tickets available, this is no time for patience, this is time for war. Who will triumph? Who will fail? And who will receive. . . The Last Return?

The Last Return is a surreal and entertaining comedy about conflict, peace and the pursuit of territory at any cost!

This new play by acclaimed writer Sonya Kelly is being presented at the Public Hall from the 18th to the 20th June. Tickets are on sale via our online Box Office now.

Our Last Production

ENTERTAINING ANGELS

Our most recent production was Entertaining Angels which was very well received by audiences across all four performances.

Amanda Bedwell led a strong cast in the demanding lead role of Grace, originally played by Penelope Keith. Alongside her were Graham Eyre, Corrina Groombridge, Carolyn Hurley and Candy Lillywhite-Taylor.

In charge of things was Martin Dyster who returned to our group for our last production, Things I Know To Be True after an absence of over 30 years. This was the first show he has directed for us since Shock! in 1983.

Backstage things were in the hands of Jacqui Brown, ably supported by Kris Knox-Crichton with Debbie Dyall providing costumes, Lucy Parrett operating sound and Dan James on the lighting desk.

Special praise was in evidence for the set designed and created by Nigel Northfield, Kris Knox-Crichton and Pete Carey.

Looking Ahead

2026

In November we will be staging a new play only just released for amateur performance that was a West-End smash hit, Till The Stars Come Down. Then next March we will be presenting yet another brand new release that had a fantastic run in the West End, the thriller 2.22 A Ghost Story. Finally (for now) we are planning a dramatisation of of Bill Bryson's Notes From A Small Island in June 2027.
