Four Flat Whites in Italy | The hilarious story of two couples – recently retired downsizers and their new neighbours – travel together on holiday to Italy. The plan is: ‘to have an adventure before the dementia’
Directed by David Sinclair
Choreography by Linda Lawson
Musical Dir. Rodney Hvartin
An exuberant musical comedy adapted from Alan Bennett’s screenplay by Ron Cowan and Daniel Lipman, with songs by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe. It sparkles with a sharp eye for social inequality, quirky characters and the madness of government bureaucracy – come and laugh at the absurdity of it all!
Directed by Jude Hines
Every couple needs a little fantasy. But behind the lace curtains, being a domestic goddess is not simple. This is a new dark comedy about cake, sex and the quest to be the perfect
1950s housewife – in the 21st century. Multi-award- winning show including the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy (2019) and UK Theatre Award for Best New Play (2018).
Directed by Angela Short
A sensitive and humorous: recently widowed June sets about following her late husband’s suggestion to keep a journal as therapy. But both grief and the journal prove elusive. Distracted by a
nosey stepdaughter and a liaison with a man wearing one of her husband’s suits, she finds bereavement far from straightforward. And as she empties skeletons from closets, she learns there is far more to life than death.
