William Shakespeare’s
Macbeth
Directed by Chris Bealey
What lengths would a general go to take the
crown? Who would have to convince him that
his reign is as close as the dagger in his hand?
In a Scotland where witches roam the heath
and whisper prophesy into eager ears, where
apparitions drive mad the living, and few have
hands not dripped in blood – the name of one
man echoes through the night… Macbeth.
TICKETS FROM £8
2.30pm Matinee on 22nd & 29th April
A once glittering actress now retired, her egocentric novelist husband
and their bohemian children, make the Bliss family. They are everything
a well-to-do family of the 1920s shouldn’t be. When they each invite a
guest to their summer retreat, but neglect to tell each other, a comedy of
misjudged meetings and all round bad manners ensues!
What more could you expect from such a melodramatic family!

onto a train, sending her out of danger and into the
arms of strangers.
In peaceful, suburban, 1980’s England, a proud
mother prepares to say farewell to her grown-up
daughter, as she cuts the ties of childhood to leave
the family home.
Then a chance discovery opens an unhealed wound.

Who really wrote Hamlet? That is
the question! Was it the work of a

it the dramatic autobiography of a
disgraced and disgraceful nobleman?
With a brilliant script and a five-star
performance, award-winning actor
George Dillon reveals the comical,
tragical and utterly scandalous history
of Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford,
who many believe was the true ‘William
Shake-speare’.
It is 1922 and Marie Lloyd is in concert.
She is joined by cross-dressing, maleimpersonator, Vesta Tilley. Hear about
their amazing lives, the Music Hall
Strike and even murderer Dr Crippen.
Marie and Vesta will sing many of
their most famous songs, so do join in!

‘The Guvnors’. They are supremely
talented, a showbiz phenomenon
and the best tonic the N.H.S. could
give the population. Winners of the
UK Rock and Pop awards as ‘Best
Entertainers’. They are the only group
to have toured with the Beatles and
twice with the Rolling Stones. A show
not to be missed.
