Our next two shows …
CURTAIN UP ON MURDER
By Bettine Manktelow
Directed by Lesley Crowther-Smith
An amateur production of a murder mystery is rehearsing in the theatre at the end of the pier. Storms rage overhead and the doors are locked: they are trapped! Then the Assistant Stage Manager falls to certain death through a trapdoor. There are characteristics that we will all recognise from our involvement with amateur dramatics, such as fragile egos and self-absorption.
Will anyone actually survive until the curtain finally closes?
JEKYLL AND HYDE
Adapted from the RL Stevenson novel
by Neil Bartlett
Directed by Emily Foster
The story of Jekyll and Hyde follows a respected doctor whose experiments begin to unleash a darker side of himself, blurring the line between control and chaos. This version introduces a strong female presence, offering a fresh emotional perspective often missing from earlier adaptations. With its stripped-back style, the play's plot explores identity, secrecy, and the dual nature of human beings.
It’s compulsive viewing!
