Our Next Production is….
THE WHALE
by Samuel D Hunter
Monday 17th November – Saturday 22nd November 2025
On the outskirts of Mormon Country, Idaho, a 600-pound recluse hides away in his apartment and slowly eats himself to death. Desperate to reconnect with his long-estranged daughter, he reaches out to her, only to find a viciously sharp-tongued and wildly unhappy teen.
Big-hearted and fiercely funny, The Whale tells the story of a man’s last chance at redemption, and of finding beauty in the most unexpected places.
Producer: Paul Turner-Johnson
Members Booking: postal or email anytime, or Box Office on 10th and 11th November 2025.

IMPORTANT ANNOUCEMENT
We rely on our small army of volunteers, without whom we wouldn’t be able to entertain our audiences.
Yes, it’s true – the theatre staff aren’t paid – they’re all volunteers, and they form an essential part of every event that takes place.
We welcome anyone that can spare a few hours to give us a hand – it could be serving drinks in the bar, making tea and coffee for the interval, working the box office, or even acting as Front of House Staff in the auditorium.
Interested in getting involved? Please contact the Box Office on 01777 702002 or email us at
