Our next show is announced - and it's going to be a treat!

Exciting news -  we are joining forces with the wonderful College Players for a special one-off production - the crazy French farce 'A Flea in Her Ear', written by the master Georges Feydeau and translated by John Mortimer (creator of Rumpole of the Bailey).

Show previews Wednesday 18 October performing 8pm nightly up to Saturday 21 October, with a 2.30pm Saturday Matinee 

What's it about?
Set in Paris in the early 1900's, this big cast play features all you would expect in a farce - a crazy catalogue of misunderstandings zipping along at a frenetic pace.            

Raymonde suspects her husband, Victor Emmanuel, of infidelity and she turns to her best friend, Lucienne, to help her gain proof. They concoct a plan based on a perfumed letter to trap him at the Hotel Coq d'Or - a dubious establishment in a questionable part of town. In true Feydeau fashion the plan misfires; the plot is complicated by confused identities, revolving beds, a great many doors and the fact that the stupid hotel porter, Poche, is the exact double of Victor Emmanuel!

Tickets are already on sale so why not book your Autumn treat now? Only £9 a ticket - or £8 for the Wednesday Night Preview performance and the Saturday Night Special!

Ooh la la!
