Road
by Jim Cartwright
directed by Barry Green
20th to 23rd October, 2010
One road in a northern town in the 1980s, devastated by unemployment. Join Scullery, your booze soaked master of the
revels, for a poignant and bawdy tour of the place and its people with their hope, their despair, their honesty and
their wild humour.
This cult classic was the first play written by Jim Cartwright, author of The Rise and Fall of Little Voice.
Its production in 1987 was a landmark in the career of post-punk icon, Ian Dury. Not surprisingly, this means it
contains adult themes and very strong language.

Kissing Sid James
by Robert Farquhar
directed by Pete Sandles
26th to 29th January, 2011
It's the dirty weekend from hell. Eddie and Crystal are two lonely people, hoping to find romance in a shabby seaside resort.
They are very different people; he's a stationery salesman who lives with his mum; she's a croupier and a Sean Connery fan.
But when they get to their hotel, disaster follows disaster and it looks like love is never going to bloom. This is one of
the most hilarious -- and touching -- plays of recent years. It's a funny and heart warming tale of the eternal search for
love and the bizarre things that try to stop it.

The Country Wife
by William Wycherley
directed by Malcolm Brown
11th to 14th May, 2011
This bawdy comedy, written in 1675, was controversial even in its own time for its sexual explicitness, and was
considered too outrageous to be performed at all between 1753 and 1924. Since then it has been regularly revived,
and is now considered to be one of the wittiest and best of the Restoration comedies.

The Girlfriend Experience
by Alecky Blythe
directed by Rob Sherwood
29th June to 2nd July, 2011
Tessa has set up a business: a brothel where mature women specialise in offering the Girlfriend Experience,
a surprisingly caring and sympathetic service. As the women stoically strive to make a living in a competitive
market, their personal lives start to crumble. Will they ever have loving relationships outside work and enjoy
being girlfriends themselves? The script is based on recordings taken in a real brothel.
