Henry V
Henry V: Production Image
William Shakespeare, Directed by Andy Burden
Thu 7th October to Sat 9th October at 8:00pm

"... Playful ingenuity and great spirit, both of which complement Shakespeare's powerful storytelling." The Guardian (4 Stars)

The risks are huge and the pain is certain as Henry V commits his troops to war. Is it bravery or bravado, national interest or personal vendetta? 

Four soldiers tell the story of a king maturing to the demands of office. Playing each character with accurate skill, Shakespeare’s classic history (and sometimes comedy) comes to life.
An energetic, exciting and rousing production, trimmed but faithful to Shakespeare’s words, by award-winning director Andy Burden

Snoopy!!! The Musical
Snoopy!!! The Musical: Production Image
Book by Charles M Schulz Music by Larry Grossman Lyrics by Hal Hackady
Wed 27th October to Sat 30th October at 7:30pm

It’s remarkable! Fantastic! Entertaining! This musical deserves every one of its three exclamation points. Based on the world-renowned Peanuts comic strip, it delights every audience with the quiet knowledge and wit of its characters.

Atop his kennel, Snoopy surveys the skies, scene of his triumph as a First World War flying ace. Modestly, he considers his genius. Stoically, he accepts that his brilliance in nearly every field of endeavour will forever go unremarked by humankind. He can but uphold his own high standards and his own immutable philosophy.

This charming show features a real person as Snoopy and six others as his human friends. Book Now.
