“…..Something wicked this way comes…”

 

Shakespeare’s dazzling action-and-adventure tragedy is dramatically
brought to life by our talented actors, as we perform this bloodthirsty tale of ambition, and the evils we will go to in order to get what we want.  Brace yourself for a spell binding performance filled with witchcraft, ghostly apparitions, dark despair, and breathtaking sword fights.  All the key scenes of this magnificent tale are included in our performance.

“....no space of regret can make amends for one life’s opportunity misused!”

 

Dickens’ classic ghostly gothic tale of Christmas is vividly brought to life by our professional actors, with the tale of a bitter and despised old miser, Scrooge, and his spectacular transformation into a gentler, kindlier, thoughtful and charitable man after visitations by four ghosts on the night before Christmas....

TOURING:

From 23rd FEBRUARY 2027

"....We don't live alone.  We are members of one body.  We are responsible for one another...."

 

The Birling family are spending a happy, self-satisfied evening celebrating the engagement of their daughter Sheila, and just when everything seems to be going so well, they receive a surprise visit from a Police Inspector investigating the suicide of a young woman.  At first the family deny any involvement, but gradually they are all implicated in her exploitation, abandonment and social ruin, leading to her death.  In this WORKING GUIDE to Priestley's famous psychological thriller there are shocking twists and turns for both the characters and the audience - right up to the final moments.  The performance is crammed full of tension throughout, and packing an emotional punch as the Inspector asks one unexpected question after another to the Birling Family.
