BEDROOM FARCE by Alan Ayckbourn
Tuesday 10 – Saturday 14 March 2020
7.30pm
£14 (Conc. £11.50)
Three bedrooms. Four couples. One endless Saturday night of
co-dependence and dysfunction, bad tempers and misunderstandings.
Snowballing sexual mishaps collide with mundane domestic questions:
does the ceiling need painting? Is it okay to stash porn in the sock drawer?
This lively romp will put a spring in your step this March!
CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF by Tennessee Williams
Tuesday 31 March – Saturday 4 April 2020
7.30pm
£14 (Conc. £11.50)
Big Daddy is dying of cancer. But his family want him to enjoy one last
birthday. Meanwhile, failed football-star Brick stifles his impotency with
booze and self-hatred, shunning his beautiful wife Maggie in the process.
This 20th century classic seethes with sexual tension in the sultry,
oppressive heat of the American south. The unsettling chaos threatens to tear
this dysfunctional family apart in the grandiose tomb that is their home.
NORTHERN ODYSSEY by Shelagh Stephenson
Tuesday 12 – Saturday 16 May 2020
7.30pm
£14 (Conc. £11.50)
Some of the masterpieces that secured Winslow Homer's reputation as the
greatest American figurative artist of the 19th century were painted in
Cullercoats. Stephenson's play imagines how this quiet genius settled in a
remote enclave of the North East in 1881 and stayed for the best part of two
years.
No mere biography, the playwright creates a living, breathing portrait
of the artist. This is in part a tale of seduction, not only of individual
hearts, but of a whole community.
PRIVATE LIVES by Noël Coward
Tuesday 2 – Saturday 6 June 2020
7.30pm
£14 (Conc. £11.50)
Divorced couple Elyot and Amanda are reunited while honeymooning with
new spouses at the same hotel.
In his classic comedy of manners, Coward presents a cocktail of wit as
dry as the martinis that lubricate this high-spirited romp. Fizzing with sexual
chemistry, his masterly wordplay serves up a refreshing draught of chilled
whimsicality in a long-stemmed glass.
APPOINTMENT WITH DEATH by Agatha Christie

A well-to-do group of British travellers find themselves thrown
together on an expedition to the city of Petra. At the centre of the group are
Mrs Boynton and her four stepchildren – but their apparent devotion is a façade
for something far more sinister.
In this chilling psychological drama, Christie - aka The Queen of Crime
- explores the murky depths of a sadistic mind and its capacity for cruelty.
