Productions

We’ve put on loads of fantastic productions over the years. Some we wrote ourselves, some we’ve won awards for; and now all of them are here at a glance, from our current and future productions all the way back to our very first in November 1962!

Our next production will be An evening in Little Grimley featuring two one-act plays by David Tristram — “Lockdown in Little Grimley” and “Murder in Little Grimley”. Performances will be from the 10–13 July 2024. Sign up to our mailing list and be the first to know when tickets go on sale.
