COMMUNICATING DOORS BY ALAN AYCKBOURN

This intricate time travelling comic thriller by the British master of farcical comedy delighted London and New York audiences. A London sex specialist from the future stumbles into a murder plot that sends her, through a unique set of hotel doors, travelling back in time.

The frantic race begins when Poopay is hired for an evening at the Regal Hotel by an old man who eschews a fling in favour of confessing his role in the demise of his wives. Now a target, Poopay flees into the vestibule and somehow triggers the time machine.

But this time around he also has a mission. As well as casting his everyman eye over what's happening in wider society, Geoff is trying to unpick what's happening with your average bloke. Remember them?

A kindly and funny stock-take of both himself his fellow man, Basic Bloke unlocks some of the more complicated behaviour of your husbands, dads and brothers.

The Hound of the Baskervilles - A Radio Play Live on Stage
From:03-05-2024
To:03-05-2024
+ More Info +

Live on stage and in person, renowned stars of stage & screen Colin Baker & Terry Molloy are joining forces this spring to play the world’s most famous detectives, Sherlock Holmes & Doctor Watson.

The legend of the Hound Of The Baskervilles has haunted the Baskerville family for generations - none more so than Sir Charles Baskerville, who died in mysterious circumstances worthy of the legend. This leads Doctor Mortimer to consult Sherlock Holmes & Doctor Watson, in the hope of preventing the heir to the Baskerville estate, Sir Henry, from suffering the same fate. But the supernatural seems a very long way from 221B Baker Street…

However, once Holmes & Watson journey to isolated Baskerville Hall, the line between reality and the legend becomes blurred. Death, doom and myth surround them – what is the secret of the butler in the night, whose is the mysterious lantern that shines in the darkness, and what hellish apparition stalks Dartmoor with murderous intent?
