The Curious Savage

A play by John Patrick

Ethel Savage - recently left $10 million by her late husband, wants to use it to help people with "a desperate need to be foolish" to fulfil their dreams: her graspiing stepchildren want it for themselves.

They have her committed to an asylum, and the 'guests' she meets there, a delightful group of truly lovely and gentle folk, form plans to help her outwit 'the baddies', keep her inheritance and realise her dream. As battle is joined, Ethel comes to see the inmates as they see themselves, and her children for what they really are.

Set in the 1040's, this is a story of goodies v baddies, which is constantly charming, hugely comic and utterly heart warming.

Journey's End

A play by R. C. Sheriff

Set in the British trenches at St. Quentin, France, in March 1918, R. C. Sherriff's powerful and heartbreaking First World War drama, based on his own experiences in the front line, has an ageless quality. Written simply and honestly about life (and death) in the tranches, it still has the power to shock and move audiences.

Second Lieutenant Raleigh arrives in the trenches aged 18 and fresh from public school to join the beleagured 'C' Company led by his one-time school friend and cricketing hero Captain Stanhope. However, in the three days and one dawn which follows, the true horror of the war, and the impact upon those around him, becomes all too clear.
