‘Hansard’
12-27 September 2025
Written by Simon Woods
Directed by Sally Putnam
‘Hansard’ is an intimate domestic drama about a long and troubled marriage. It is also a comedy about politics and identity and the failings of the ruling class.
The set is a lovely country mansion in the Cotswolds. The time is a Saturday morning in the summer of 1988, towards the end of the Thatcher years. It is the home of Tory cabinet member Robin Hesketh and his politically-opposed, stay-at-home, wife of 30 years, Diana.
But all is not as blissful as it seems. The couple are at odds over Robin’s part in assisting a recent piece of sensitive legislation to be passed in parliament during the last week.
The play ends with a ‘delicate’, heart--rending revelation.
Cast: Anita Canala and Andrew Clarke

‘Peace in our Time’
13-28 March 2026
Written by Noel Coward
Directed by Geoff Brittain
‘Peace in our Time ‘ is a two-act play written in 1946 by Noël Coward. It is a work of alternative history, focusing on a group of Londoners in a pub close to Sloane Square, after Nazi Germany has won the Battle of Britain and successfully invaded and occupied the United Kingdom. The play is in two acts of four scenes each. The setting is the saloon bar of a London public house called The Shy Gazelle, somewhere between Knightsbridge and Sloane Square
Coward wrote that he conceived the idea for the play while in Paris shortly after the end of Nazi occupation. He decided to place the entire action of the play in the bar-parlour of a London pub, as "the most easily manageable meeting-ground for various types of Londoners” in order to portray their varying reactions to the invasion.

‘Influence’
11-26 September 2026
Written by David Williamson
Directed by Vicky Horwood
‘In ‘Influence’, Ziggi Blasco knows how to turn fear into hate. A talk-back host whose power rests in his influence over his audience, he fills Sydney's airwaves with his appeals to a particular brand of 'common sense', his hard stance on terrorists and his lashings at political correctness.
But in the private sphere, Ziggi's influence is fading away. A scathing and bitingly funny play about the media personalities that dominate our lives and the divisions that can shatter families
