Returning home to Palm Springs after a six-year absence to celebrate Christmas with her family, Brooke Wyeth announces that she is about to publish a memoir dredging up a pivotal and tragic event in the family’s history – a wound they don’t want reopened. In effect, she draws a line in the sand and dares them all to cross it. Her wealthy Republican parents - former friends of the Reagans and stalwarts of their local country club - are wary and suspicious, while her younger brother is playful and irreverent.

This fast-paced, tautly-written drama was was first performed in New York in 2011 to rave reviews and is a truly unmissable treat. Book now!

Fri 3rd - Sat 11th June at 7.45pm

(no show Sunday 5th)

Lord Arthur Savile's engagement to the lovely Sybil has all the appearances of a match made in heaven. But everything changes when he has his palm read and discovers that he is destined to become a murderer.

To protect his future wife from shame, Arthur feels duty-bound to get the dirty deed over and done with well before the marriage. Naturally, he settles on killing a member of his own family, but which one to dispatch? Decisions, decisions…

Wilde's wicked, black comedy positively fizzes with fun as the audience is taken on a laugh-out-loud romp through Victorian society. A zany, improbable comedy of murder, chocolate and a night on the Embankment in 1890s London.

Please note: booking for non-members opens on 3rd May

Thurs 16th - Sun 19th June - in the Bar

Anna visits her old friends, Deeley and Kate (husband and wife), at a farmhouse on the English seaside, seemingly to reminisce about their adventures in London 20 years ago. But memory can play false as old friends compete for attention. Their recollections overlap and in that overlapping lies confusion about the truth of what happened: “There are things I remember which may never have happened but, as I recall them, so they take place.”

Old Times was first staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Aldwych Theatre, London, June 1971 (directed by Peter Hall), and most recently in January 2013 at the Harold Pinter Theatre.

No show Sunday 10th

Following sensational runs at the National Theatre, in the West End, on Broadway and on a sold out UK national tour, One Man, Two Guvnors – possibly the funniest play in the world – comes to BLT! A riotous, laugh-out-loud farce, 'One Man..' is sure to repeat its record-breaking sell-out success on the BLT stage. Don't miss out - book now!

Please note: booking for non-members opens on 8th June

Are you a singer/guitarist or bass player? 'One Man, Two Guvnors' needs you!

Our production of this hilarious farce set in 1963 is sure to attract high ticket sales and lots of media attention when it plays at BLT in July before moving on to Hever Castle in Kent.

However, we still need to put together a group similar to the combos that were forming all over the country in the early Sixties as a direct result of the success of bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

The band will provide an introduction to the show and accompaniment to songs within the production.

Co-director Dan Armour says: "We need to find a bass player and perhaps more importantly, a singer guitarist who can help us to really kick this show off with the bang it needs." No payment, but a lot of fun !

So, if you fancy being a John & Paul or a Mick & Keef and would like some more information, email Dan here
