"starved to death at pontefract castle - or what?"
by Gordon Daviot, directed by John Bury
Vintage Bordeaux (1933) "Richard of
Bordeaux, was the success of the season. From my window I can look down at St
Martin's Lane and see the queues coil like serpents around the theatre,"
observed John Gielgud, made an overnight star in Gordon Daviot's urbane,
romantic and often witty retread of Shakespeare.
Born to Edward, the Black Prince and Joan, the Fair Maid of
Kent and at age ten acceding to the throne, Richard II is first shown as an 18
year old in a country at arms, to his eventual demise, a lonely incarcerated and
deposed monarch of only 33 years. Richard is a combination of vacillation,
nobility, suppressed homosexuality and embittered disillusion, in the age of
poll tax and Wat Tyler.
An enthralling evening of theatre - don't miss it.

"the marital complications of a returning war hero"
by W.Somerset Maugham, directed by David Hare
It is 1918 and the War is over.
Victoria, "a dear little thing," is happily married to her returning hero. All
goes well until the unexpected and unthinkable happens, plunges the couple into
confusion and panic, and sends the action heading off in a completely new
direction.
Add a sprinkling of larger-than-life supporting characters: a
bossy mother-in-law, a dubious solicitor and a fixer who can do anything one
asks of him so long as there is something in it for him!
Here is a gentle comedy in the Noel Coward mode, written by
his talented and prolific contemporary, which is always ready to spring a
surprise to sustain the action to the end. An evening to enjoy.

"the classic, immortal love story of searing passion"
by Emily Bronte, directed by Ayshea Christian
One in spirit and social unequals,
Heathcliff and Cathy's love can never be. Their different paths draw them
together and apart through-out their lives, finally joined only in death.
Set in the remoteness of the Yorkshire Moors, this powerful
and fast-moving adaptation takes us from Heathcliff and Cathy's first meeting,
through their lives and along the paths of their children. Cathy's untimely
death changes Heathcliff forever, to the point of him seeking revenge on those
he holds responsible. His vengeance spans two generations, with tragic and
devastating results.
