WOADS PRESENTS... AGATHA CRUSTY AND THE VILLAGE HALL MURDERS

Agatha Crusty is a crime novelist. She's also pretty adept at solving crimes. And when her sister-in-law Alice invites her to spend a few days with her in the village of Chortelby, it's not long before she gets caught up in a series of murders which seem directed at members of the All Saints Village Hall committee.

From Toby, the Vicar, and Eleanor, Chair of the committee, to Harry Knott the caretaker and identical twins Olivia and Oliver Truscott-Pratt, there are plenty of suspects. And with an investigating officer as incompetent as D.I. Twigg, there are plenty of laughs as the murders begin to pile up.

But, while packed full of wit and very funny scenes, this is also a genuine murder mystery with an ingenious plot which will tax the little grey cells of the audience at the same time!

IODS Presents... Company

On the night of his 35th birthday, confirmed bachelor Robert, struggles to think of a wish to make as he blows out his birthday candles. Robert contemplates his unmarried state. The lone bachelor, surrounded by “those good and crazy people”, his married friends, Robert is uncertain whether he should simply be happy with his lot or whether he should wish for his own romantic partner.

Over a series of dinner parties, first dates, thoughtful conversations, and even a wedding, Robert attempts to understand the pros and cons of marriage from his diverse and frequently hilarious friends. Robert is forced to question his adamant retention of bachelorhood and begins to make sense of why he is unwilling to marry.

Company, Stephen Sondheim’s ground-breaking modern musical, is a mature, intelligent, and wildly funny look at relationships, vulnerability, and “being alive.”

dEFAULT THEATRE presents… Shakespeare in the Pub: HENRY IV

The curtain has fallen on a touring Shakespeare company's final performance, but the night isn't over. In the theatre bar, champagne flows as the crew celebrates – and inspiration strikes. Together, they transform their after-hours revelry into an impromptu production of ‘Henry IV’, fashioning a stage from their surroundings and bringing it to life using whatever (and whoever) is around them.

Drawing from both parts of William Shakespeare’s ‘Henry IV’, what unfolds is a story of power, rebellion, and redemption. At its heart is an ailing king struggling to maintain order in his realm while grappling with an even greater challenge: his own son’s rebellion. Prince Hal, more at home in taverns than court, has found a questionable mentor in the charismatic rogue John Falstaff. But when the ambitious Hotspur threatens the kingdom with civil war, Hal must finally confront his responsibilities to crown, country, and father.

As contemporary relationships mirror Shakespeare's historic power struggles, the lines between performer and character begin to blur, and a dialogue forms between past and present.

By integrating innovative staging with Shakespeare’s original text, Shakespeare in the Pub offers a fresh perspective on timeless tales. Filled with humour and heart, this intimate performance reveals the enduring power of the Bard’s storytelling.
