The witch’s curse: one that forces any man who bares the title of Baronet of Ruddigore to commit a crime every day, or die. Surely this curse won’t come back to haunt Robin Oakapple (a simple farmer) as he tries to woo the virtuous Rose Maybud. Unless, he is revealed to be Sir Ruthven Murgatroyd, the rightful Baronet of Ruddigore, who faked his own death to escape the accursed title. With the help of his trusty manservant Old Adam, Robin will have to face challenges from some of the people closest to him; Richard Dauntless, his foster-brother, who also seeks Rose for himself, his real...

When two theatrical schmucks discover that they can make more money with a flop than with a hit, they set out to produce the loser of all losers – a ridiculous musical about Hitler, guaranteed to close in one night!

Adapted from Brooks’ 1968 movie of the same name, and winner of a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards, The Producers is an absurd, gleefully irreverent, and fast-paced satiric comedy with a boisterous swing score parodying Golden Age Broadway musicals.

‘All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others.’

Animal Farm – the history of a revolution that went wrong – is George Orwell’s brilliant satire on the corrupting influence of power. A GCSE student reads the classic novel and immediately becomes absorbed by the action of the animal rebellion. As the story ignites around him, he finds the ideals of the uprising are being corrupted and forgotten.

This visually engaging adaptation, underscored by live original music and incorporating physical theatre and puppetry, will explore how idealistic political...

‘ In delay there lies no plenty … youth’s a stuff will not endure’

Christmas 1916. While war wages on, those back at home in Illyria try to forget and seize the day, seeking distraction through frivolity, solace, and companionship.

When refugee twins, Viola and Sebastian, are shipwrecked and separated, they shake up this grief-stricken community, resulting in mistaken identity, folly and love.

Shakespeare’s most delightful yet melancholic comedy, this is a vibrant, intimate ensemble production enriched with music...

Giles Shenton, as Old Herbaceous, keeps us engrossed, entertained, amused and emotionally engaged. Old Herbaceous is an acute and sometimes hilarious observation of relationships between the classes in a gentler, simpler age.

Sprinkled with witticisms and epithets. Giles Shenton truly lives the part and makes us feel it’s a private chat from a bygone and comforting age that leaves us with a feeling that, perhaps, all’s right with the world. The humorous love story of a single-minded yet gentle...
