When
We Are Married by J B Priestley Lyndhurst
Players
22-25th
July 7.45pm Tickets £8 Wed £9 T F S
In the heart of
Yorkshire in 1903, three respectable couples, married on the same
day, at the same church, and by the same vicar, join to celebrate 25
years of blissful matrimony or so they think. The happy celebrations
are brought to a sudden halt by a shocking revelation that these
pillars of the community aren't quite as respectably married as they
thought they were. As the home truths fly like confetti and conjugal
rites turn to farcical fights, sparkling comic mayhem erupts. With a
photographer from the local paper due to arrive any second, a missing
housekeeper and a doorbell that won't stop ringing, can the three
couples keep a lid on their embarrassing secret?

Jack
The Ripper By
Ron Pember and Denis de Marne RAODS
The Plaza
Tuesday
15th
September 7.30pm £12.00
Set
partly in a music hall and partly in the surrounding East End streets
and buildings, the play is a musical reconstruction of incidents
relating to the murders that took place in 1888. A solution to Jack
the Ripper’s identity is hinted at, but this is an atmospheric
commentary rather than historical re-enactment. Shifting between
reality and artificiality, with characters from the Victorian music
hall and ‘real’ people.

The
Safari Party by Tim Firth RAODS The Plaza
Tuesday
13th
October 7.30pm £12.00
From
the writer of Calendar Girls, Flint Street Nativity and Neville's
Island comes this biting, witty comedy. Three households in Cheshire
have agreed to hold a "safari party": a dinner party, each
course of which is served in a different house. The three households
are linked not just socially, however: there's the whole question of
the mysterious table... As the evening progresses, lies are told,
truths are revealed, and matters turn satisfyingly messy and violent.
"A cracking comedy - cunningly constructed, thematically
rich, and above all blissfully funny", Charles Spencer, Daily
Telegraph.

RANSOMED
by Howard Brenton
In
the sleepy Cathedral City of Melchester, a crime has been committed.
The Cathedral’s prize possession, a copy of the original Magna
Carta, has been stolen in a daring heist. Who is responsible and what
price will the British Government be prepared to pay for the
document’s safe return? As the plot thickens, Detective Inspector
Ellie Baxter seeks to find the truth in this brilliant new Magna
Carta comedy.
KINGMAKERS
by Anders Lustgarten
Ten
years after the signing of Magna Carta, the barons' takeover isn’t
quite going to plan. With the peasants grumbling about enormous
castles and broken promises, the threat of rebellion hangs in the
air. Perhaps the solution is to distract and deflect by bringing the
confused and humbled king back into the fold? What about a royal
wedding? A royal baby? All at the common man’s expense,
of course… A fictional story from the 13th century that
may just be about now.
"WE
SELL RIGHT" by Timberlake Wertenbaker
In
1215, when the King of England abuses his extraordinary power, the
barons’ take action.
In
2015, when the kings of global business and finance abuse their
extraordinary power, who will take action and what will confrontation
look like? In the decades that follow, what will remain of the values
we hold most dear? A gripping drama about the consequences of
confronting power on a global scale.

companion to Magna Carta, The Charter of the Forest

Nikolai
Ivanov, a regional councillor and landowner, has tried to live his
life in a bold new way, taking risks in everything from business to
romance. Now his estate is failing, his wife is dangerously ill and
he’s up to his neck in debt. To cap it all, he’s surrounded by
malicious gossip.
Against his better judgment he sees an
irresistible opportunity, in the adoring form of Sasha Lebedev,
daughter of the Chairman of the local council. She offers her
devotion, youth and beauty, but also the considerable riches of her
name. But can Ivanov survive the guilt and shame scandal would bring?
Set
in a remote backwater, this angry and outspoken play, streaked with
satire, drink and anti-Semitism, is full of an outright passion
Chekhov would soon forego in his later plays.
