Time of My Life

by Alan Ayckbourn

28 February – 3 March 2012

Gerry Stratton has organised a small family dinner with his sons Glyn and Adam at his favourite restaurant to celebrate his wife Laura’s 54th birthday. Glyn is with his long-suffering wife Stephanie and their marriage looks to be on firmer ground than it was once. Adam has brought along his new girlfriend Maureen, an outrageous hairdresser, and they are both eager to impress. The occasion suggests a happy domestic scene but gradually we are made aware of the family skeletons. We discover that Glyn’s unfaithfulness knows no bounds, that the family transport business has been hit by the recession and that Laura has been unfaithful to her husband. The present opens up to have Glyn’s story move forward in time and Adam’s backward, while at the centre Gerry and Laura pick apart their marriage and recall first love. Very funny, and not funny at all – typical Ayckbourn

Edge of Darkness

by Brian Clemens

22 - 26 May 2012

Emma returns after a disappearance of several years and is suffering severely with amnesia. Why does she seem familiar with certain Russian phrases? Why such a horror of a harmless silver bell, of a portrait on the wall, of knives? Is she really Emma Cranwell? A chilling mystery set at the turn of the century.
