				Twelfth Night By William Shakespeare Created by Filter - Directed by Sean Holmes Thursday October 7^th at 7.30pm Two worlds collide in Shakespeare’s lyrical Twelfth Night. Olivia’s melancholic, puritanical household clashes head on with Sir Toby Belch’s insatiable appetite for drunken debauchery. Orsino’s relentless pursuit of Olivia and Malvolio, her steward’s extraordinary transformation typify the madness of love in Illyria, a land of make-believe and illusion, mistaken identity and a ridiculous pair of yellow stockings! In this enormously funny, fast-paced production of Shakespeare’s much-loved comedy, dynamic narrative, witty invention and bursts of music result in a joyous celebration. This is undoubtedly one of the freshest and most acclaimed Shakespeare productions of recent years and was originally performed in the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Complete Works Festival
			The London Merchant by George Lillo – first performed at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane on 22 June 1731 - directed by Colin Blumenau Wednesday 20^th October at 7.30pm Written by George Lillo in 1731, The London Merchant is a tragic tale of seduction, betrayal and murder; it was one of the most popular and enduring dramas of its age. Derived from a well-known ballad set in the time of the Armada, it follows the tale of a young merchant George Barnwell who is led astray by the beautiful but destructive courtesan Millwood. Set in the Merchant District of London of 1588 the action of the play is viewed through the lens of the Georgian era, some 150 years later. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience exquisite period dramatisation, complete with stunning period costumes, from the very best producer of 18th century theatre in Britain.
		Rum and Coca Cola By Mustapha Matura Director Don Warrington Thursday 11^th November at 7.30pm The beautiful island paradise of Trinidad, under the fiery heat of the Caribbean sun. Slim and Professor play sweet calypso for passing tourists. Professor, a past calypso giant with a historic hat-trick of hits, is schooling Slim in the noble art. They survive on their ‘refreshment capital’, living at the end of the beach amongst driftwood, fallen coconut trees and empty rum bottles. And as Professor ‘speechifies’ about his life, one that’s been lost and stolen, Slim tries to grasp a brighter future. Rum and Coca-Cola is a gently humorous, bittersweet tale written by one of our finest dramatists
	The Madness of George III by Alan Bennett - directed by Alastair Whatley Starring Simon Ward and Susan Penhaligon Wednesday 24^th November at 7.30pm The year is 1786. George III is King. King of England.  He has a loving wife, a nation of subjects, a loyal parliament, and the world kneels at his feet... But he’s a little odd. The king’s behaviour is becoming increasingly erratic, and word has it he’s addressed an oak tree as the King of Prussia! Doctors are called in, parliament falters, and the Prince Regent manoeuvres himself into power. From the hand of national treasure Alan Bennett, The Madness of George III is a brilliant exploration of duty and kingship, an epic play about the ties that bind us together as family, as a society and as a nation. Gripping drama, dangerous politics and irreverent comedy collide in a rollercoaster ride where the health of the nation is at the mercy of the mental health of one man.
