Regarded as Shakespeare's wittiest comedy, the main plot is in fact a dark tale of love, deception and reconciliation instigated by the evil malice of Don John, brother to the Prince of Arragon. But the principle delight of the play centres on the merry war between the Prince's friend Benedick and Beatrice, the niece of Leonato, the Governor of Messina. The pair engage in sharp-tongued repartee, vowing never to marry, but are tricked by the other main characters into falling in love in spite of themselves. ----------------------------- 16th - 21st March 2009 at 7.30pm (Matinee performance Sat. 15th March at 2.30pm) ----------------------------------------------------- "Death and the Maiden" by Ariel Dorfman.

His wife, Paulina, was one of the victims. When Roberto gives her husband a lift, she recognizes in his voice the suave menace of the doctor who raped her, who judged how much current to send through her body. ----------------------------- 4th - 9th May 2009 at 7.30pm (Matinee performance Sat. 15th March at 2.30pm) ----------------------------------------------------- "All in Good Time" by Bill Naughton. Young, in love and just married. Arthur and Violet are embarking on their new married life ... in his parents' upstairs bedroom! Arthur is a sensitive soul, who prefers listening to classic music than downing a pint with the lads. The lack of privacy, with too many people in too small a house, is so inhibiting that six weeks after the wedding the marriage still hasn't really ... you know ... 'got going'! ----------------------------- 22nd - 27th June 2009 at 7.30pm (Matinee performance Sat. 21st June at 2.30pm) ---------------------------------------------------- "The Graduate" adapted by Terry Johnson.
