PLAY 2: Into the Breeches!

by George Brant

Production Dates: Monday 16th November – Saturday 21st November 2026

It’s 1942, and most of the men of Retford are gone, fighting World War II.

Maggie, wife of the director of Oberon Play House, has the idea of an all-women production of Henry IV and V by Shakespeare, thus keeping the theatre open. They make their way through rehearsals, artistic differences, and how to walk like a man.

Missing their husbands, and longing for word from the front, they find strength in each other and their common goal. In this surprising moving comedy they find the courage to go boldly ‘into the breeches!’

Produced by Produced by Jooli Atkins & Keri Duffy

Box Office: 6:00pm-8:00pm from 9th November 2026


PLAY 3: Pack of Lies

by Hugh Whitemore

Production Dates: Monday 25th January – Saturday 30th January 2027

Based on the real-life Portland Spy Ring affair of the 1960’s, this gripping and multi-award winning play tells the story of an infiltration of Soviet spies into a mundane, middle-class community in leafy Ruislip.

At the heart of the play lies the dilemma of whether or not personal bonds between friends are or should be stronger than bonds with the state. Should the Jackson’s believe the police about the Krogers and help to set a trap for their best friends?

Produced by Thomas Perkins

PLAY 4: Noises Off

by Michael Frayn

Production Dates: Monday 15th March – Saturday 20th March 2027

First staged in 1982 and revived countless times since, this modern classic satirises the farce genre in English stage drama. And does so by creating one of the greatest and funniest farces of modern (even all-) time.

As the curtain opens, we see the actors in rehearsal for a tour of a third-rate comedy called Nothing On. Then we see the chaos of a performance on tour – but from behind the scenes. Finally we see a performance from near the end of the tour when none of the actors could care less.

Produced by Stephen Walker

PLAY 5: 2:22 A Ghost Story

by Danny Robins

Production Dates: Monday 17th May – Saturday 22nd May 2027

Jenny and husband Sam have recently bought a large house in Greater London that they are renovating.

For several nights, at exactly 2:22, Jenny hears the sound of someone crying and moving around the house. She becomes convinced the house is haunted. Sam insists there are more logical explanations.

The couple host a dinner party for Lauren, an old friend of Sam’s, and Ben her boyfriend who believes in the supernatural. After discussing the strange noises, Jenny persuades the others to stay up until 2:22 to see what happens…
