OUR 2022 SEASON
THE PITMEN PAINTERS
A comedy-drama by Lee Hall – funny, passionate, political and moving; based on the true story of artists from England’s North, comprised largely of mine workers. Although most had no formal artistic training, their work became celebrated as The Ashington Group in the art world of the 1930s and 1940s.
- 18th - 27th August 2022

BEDSIDE MANNERS
Bedside Manners | When Ferris reluctantly agrees to look after his sister’s small run-down country inn while she’s away, he did not anticipate all the wild comings-and-goings. Over the course of his house-sitting, Ferris becomes the catalyst for mayhem, as he navigates the two hapless couples through their respective doomed dalliances. It’s a classic British farce, full of hilarity, wit and a whole lot of laughs.

2023 Auditions
FOUR FLAT WHITES IN ITALY
By Roger Hall
Directed by Kerrin White
Four Flat Whites in Italy is the story of retired librarians, Adrian and Alison. They have scrimped and saved for the holiday of a lifetime with another couple they’ve known for years. Shortly before leaving, one of their friends breaks his ankle, and the couple are unable to join them. Stepping into the breach are two new neighbours – brash Harry, a retired plumber, and his sexy younger wife, Judy, who insist on flying business class. What follows is an hilarious clash of budgets, interests, politics, culture, sex, religion, sport and coffee! Laugh along with the Flat Four’s poignantly funny adventures as they tour Venice, Rome and Tuscany.
