and Saturday matinee on 19th March at 3pm

It Snows by Bryony Lavery, Steven Hoggett and Scott Graham. Performed as part of the National Theatre Connections 2016

Boy doesn't meet Girl, Girl doesn't meet Boy. Threatened by terrifying Lads Gang. Threatened by awe-inspiring Girls Gang. Mum and Dad have declared war...against each other. Weird neighbour. Usual ordinary gloominess. Then, one day, it snows. Everything changes.

The World's Wife
29th March - 2nd April 2016 at 7.45pm
The World’s Wife by Carol Anne Duffy

Behind every man there’s a great woman…

Forget history. These are her stories. From King Midas to the Krays, via Darwin and the Hunchback of Notre Dame, Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy’s The World's Wife throws new light on a host of seemingly familiar characters. With wit, wisdom and some knowing irony, this collection of poems gives voice to the women closest to these famous men. Exploring relationship issues and what it takes to be a wife and mother, these are women who learn from their mistakes and their experiences, and their stories reveal the real power behind the throne. Inspiring, moving and evoking a great deal of laughter, these wonderful women are brought to the stage in all their glory in this thrilling and very entertaining new dramatic interpretation.

The Ladykillers by Graham Linehan
3rd - 7th May at 7.45pm (with Saturday matineee at 3pm)

Five seasoned con men planning an audacious heist think they have found the ideal base. Lodging in the crooked home of a little old lady, Mrs Wilberforce, and disguised as a string quartet, they plan the perfect crime. Will they get away with the money, or have they met their match in the unlikely shape of their landlady?

A hilarious new adaptation by Graham Linehan (Father Ted, The IT Crowd) of the classic Ealing comedy, The Ladykillers was a West End smash and enjoyed a successful tour of the UK. This production is presented as part of the Wandsworth Arts Festival 2016.

Under the Blue Sky by David Eldridge
17th - 21st May 2016 at 7.45pm

An award-winning, funny and touching play about the complicated love lives of a group of teachers. From genuine affection through to the regrets of an alcohol fuelled romp, Under the Blue Sky takes you on a roller-coaster ride of lust, love and friendship as it explores the uncertainties, misunderstandings and unexpected results of what it means to fall for someone else.

First performed at the Royal Court, and then reprised at the Duke of York's, with Catherine Tate leading a stellar cast, the Telegraph described the play as 'a dramatically provocative, sexually hot and ultimately heart-warming treat'.

Lady Windermere’s Fan by Oscar Wilde
Tuesday 21st June- Saturday 25th June at 7.45pm
Matinee on Saturday 25th at 3pm

Lady Windermere is young, aristocratic, beautiful and a bit of a prig. Supposing her husband to be unfaithful with the mysterious Mrs Erlynne, to whom Lord Windermere, she discovers, has been secretly paying vast sums, Lady Windermere flees to the arms of her long-time admirer Lord Darlington and so brings herself to the brink of social suicide. More secrets are dangled in front of us, the plot thickens and finally all is well… except that it isn’t - too many compromises have been made.
