The Gentle Comedy
"Month of Sundays"

Mon 15th - Sat 20th March 2004

By Bob Larby

Directed by Nigel Taylor

The play revolves around Cooper and Aylott, two of the residents, or should that be inmates, in a rest home? To the painful ritual of family visits and empty condescension the two inmates reply with humour and wit, aware that life can only be endured if treated as a comedy.

The Riotous Comedy
"Alarms & Excursions"

Mon 3rd - Sat 8th May 2004

By Michael Frayn

Directed by Andrew Wilson

A suite of 8 plays explores the difficulties modern technology has added to life……with hilarious results. Do labour saving devices become anything but in your hands? Does new fangled technology leave you cold? Well don't worry; there is always someone worse off than you! If you doubt the wisdom of this oft heard phrase come along to this production and you will meet any number of these technically challenged people.

The Comedy
"Relatively Speaking"

Mon 21st - Sat 26th June 2004

By Alan Ayckbourn

Directed by Grenville Castree

Greg and Ginny are living together, but Greg is becoming somewhat suspicious that he is not the only man in her life. When Ginny unexpectedly announces that she is to visit her parents, Greg decides to follow her. What follows him is a maelstrom of mistaken identities, confusion, misunderstanding and embarrassing situations.
