Our final production in 2017 is Death of a Salesman written by Arthur Miller.

Death of a Salesman is an acknowledged classic of American 20th-century theatre

Post-war USA... a time of change and hope, and the opportunity to re-engage with the country's desire to continue its pursuit of the 'American Dream'. Willy Loman's belief and confidence is about to be seriously tested.

"I don't say he's a great man. Willy Loman never made a lot of money. His name was never in the paper. He's not the finest character that ever lived. But he's a human being, and a terrible thing is happening to him. So attention must be paid. He's not to be allowed to fall into his grave like an old dog. Attention, attention must finally be paid to such a person." Linda Loman

Our third production in 2017 was Twelfth Night written by William Shakespeare.

Twelfth Night is a comic tale of disguise, of love lost and won, of mistaken identities happily resolved. Shakespeare's play is enduringly popular, and as this production is set in the 1920s, we are promised an evening of comedy served with a delicious helping of glamour.

"It looks gorgeous on David Penrose's rich but simple set and there are some stonking performances." The News

Our second production in 2017 was Equus written by Peter Shaffer.

In a Hampshire stable, disturbed youth Alan Strang, commits an unspeakable act of violence. He is sent to psychiatrist Dr Martin Dysart, who begins to explore the boy's past in an attempt to understand his motives. It proves to be the most challenging case of his career as he struggles to interpret the motivation for Alan's brutality. As the truth gradually emerges the psychiatrist finds that, paradoxically, his own life is in the witness box. Inspired by a true story, Peter Shaffer's passionate and gripping psychological thriller is a timeless classic and a cornerstone of contemporary drama.

Equus is one of the greatest English post-war plays. As a work of art, it is magnificent. Rarely does a contemporary drama probe so deep - an electrifying evening of theatre

Our first production in 2017 was Sive written by John B Keane.

Orphaned and illegitimate Sive (she rhymes with 'dive') lives with her aunt and uncle in rural Ireland. Sean Dota, an elderly farmer, offers the local match-maker a large sum to arrange her marriage to him. Will this be too much for her aunt and uncle to resist and what will be the consequences?

Seen by over 30,000 people during a sell-out revival at the Abbey Theatre Dublin in 2014, John B Keane's 'Sive' is considered one of the greatest Irish plays of the 20th Century.

Don't miss the opportunity to see this dark, powerful story of greed and passion.
