The Ladykillers
by Graham Linehan Directed by Mike Savill
Fri 4th - Sat 12th December at 7.45pm
Posing as musicians, a gang rent rooms in the house of Mrs Wilberforce, a sweet little old lady, plotting to involve her as an unwitting stooge in a heist job. But their plans go very wrong and events unravel with darkly hilarious results...
Based on the famous Ealing comedy (since reworked by the Coen Brothers in 2005), this multi-Olivier nominated adaptation by Graham Linehan (Father Ted, The IT Crowd) infuses the classic 1950s film with a modern day pace, punch and sensibility.
“A lunatic farce that’s as black as a policeman’s hat, The Ladykillers is as irresistible as ever.” - Time Out

Blithe Spirit
by Noël Coward Directed by Stevie Hughes
Fri 15th – Sat 23rd Jan 2016 at 7.45pm
As research for his next novel, Charles Condomine engages a medium, Madame Arcati, to conduct a séance but inadvertently, she raises the ghost of his late, first wife, Elvira. For Ruth – Charles’s current wife – Elvira’s resurrection is no laughing matter, particularly since the neurotic spirit seems only too eager to reclaim her husband – whether it be in this world or the next.
Noël Coward is one of the truly great comic writers of British theatre and his trademark sharp wit, piercing eye for relationships and unforgettable characters are in abundance in this comedy classic.
Thrown together by a storm of biblical proportions, two families spend a night together, the events of which will change their lives forever. But what did happen that night and can they tear aside the haze of alcohol and drugs that cloud their memories without tearing one another apart?
Originally staged and performed by acclaimed physical theatre group Frantic Assembly, this dark and visceral play will be an unforgettable experience in the BLT Bar.
Contains strong language, smoking and scenes of a violent and sexual nature.
It’s raining. A man screams. A fish falls from the sky. Gabriel York is awaiting the arrival of his grown son whom he hasn’t seen since he was seven.
This epic play takes us back and forth in time from one generation to another, from 1950s London to the rain-soaked Australian desert in 2039.
When the Rain Stops Falling charts a legacy of betrayal, mysterious disappearances and fish soup in a family saga spanning eighty years and two continents. The sins of the father are visited on the son, as secrets and lies send one young man across the hemispheres in search of answers, whilst a worldwide environmental disaster unfolds.
