The Bald Prima Donna

by Eugene Ionesco

Directed by Sarah Mann

The curtain rises on a small, old fashioned, middle class living room. It is a typically English evening at home. Typically English Mr Smith is in his favourite armchair, wearing English slippers, smoking an English pipe and reading an English newspaper. His wife, typically English Mrs Smith is darning English socks. An English clock chimes three English chimes...

Absurd. Fast paced. Farcically funny. Noel Coward meets Fawlty Towers by way of Waiting for Godot!

On a darker note the play exposes the suspicious fear of foreigners in England after the Second World War and it raises the question, that when refugees strive to be accepted by the countries that naturalise them do they eventually take on the characteristics of that country or its people however negative they may be.

He Gave Me Heroin

by James Aden

Starring Janette Eddisford & Sarah Mann

Directed by Sian Webber

A new play by James Aden. Marion and Sadie have a good old natter along with pills, gossip, tea and biscuits. A sweetly nostalgic and surreal story of friendship, love, death, drugs, ageing and dementia. Honest and abstract, this piece takes the audience on a journey both shocking and poignant. Poetic, funny and touching.

"My eyes never left the stage... This really is a fantastically written, superbly produced play with truly wonderful acting." ***** (Kings Head)
