WHAT’S ON
MR BAILEY’S MINDER

Enter Therese, fresh out of prison and down to her last option, who takes up the challenge as Leo’s carer. Therese is determined to succeed – even if it means going head-to-head with Mr. Bailey.

THE MEMORY OF WATER
Winner of the Olivier Award for Best Comedy, Shelagh Stephenson’s poignant and painfully funny comedy is about conflicting memories, life and loss. A beautiful bittersweet comedy, bound by sisterly love, anger, tears and of course laughter.

MIDNIGHT MURDER AT HAMLINGTON HALL
It is the opening night of director-writer Shane Tweed’s new murder mystery. Jamie Oxenbould and Mark Kilmurry’s new comedy looks behind the scenes at the world of amateur theatre, where luck, determination and unbridled confidence rule the day. A very funny take on bad timing, incompetence and sweet optimism to end the 2023 season.
