The Crucible |
|
A classic in the true sense of the word. Arthur Miller’s masterpiece is set during the Salem witch trials of the late 1600’s. However its depiction of hysteria and the destructive way in which a community can turn on itself gives the play a moral heart that is universal, and is also universally seen as an allegory of the anti-Communist witch hunts of the 1950’s.

Kiss The Bride - By John J. Whooten
Presented by - The Once Removed Theatre Company |
|
A scheming groom is out to murder his (frequently married and very wealthy) bride on their wedding night. He puts out a “contract” on her with a dubious agency, which, unfortunately, sends a bumbling and incompetent duo to do the job.
On the day the nervous groom, mistaking an unlikely-looking wedding guest for the hired killer, sends the wrong man upstairs to deal with his wife. Inevitably the real “hit men” turn up, having kidnapped and unsuspecting bride from a different wedding reception. Confusion ensues and the “happiest day of one’s life soon degenerates into an ever increasing but hilarious nightmare.

Ladies Day |
|
In its 300 year history, Royal Ascot has always been held at its Berkshire home but improvements to the racecourse in 2005 necessitated a move north to York. Pearl, Jan, Shelley and Linda are the fish-filleting foursome for whom work, love amd life is just one long hard slog. Their fortunes improve when Linda finds tickets to Ladies Day at Royal Ascot in York. Out go the hairnets, the wellies and the overalls as the girls do themselves up and head for the races. As the day unfolds, the champagne flows, secrets spill out and their horses keep winning.
With its Yorkshire heart and soul, Ladies Day has all the warmth of Calendar Girls and The Full Monty.
