Who Goes Bare
12th March – 27th March Director: Dorothy Henderson
Running a Health and Strength Home in a large and somewhat decaying country
mansion can be a hazardous undertaking at any time, as Eddie Manchip knows. When
one is further beset by a sinister crook to whom one has signed away the deeds
of the house in payment of a gambling debt; a complete desertion of the staff
except for one half-witted and generally hysterically excited maid; an erring,
pompous brother; his suspicious wife; a tennis-player in the nude; a quick
change artist who appears as someone different every ten minutes or so; the
tennis player's kilted Scottish husband and a hearty countrywoman grabbing
second-hand clothing - then the result can be, in a word - chaos.

Musical Play
I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change.
26th November – 11th December Director: Iain Hogg
Presented in the form of a series of vignettes connected by the central theme of
love and relationships, this musical play's tagline is "Everything you have ever
secretly thought about dating, romance, marriage, lovers, husbands, wives and
in-laws, but were afraid to admit. A first date, weddings, marriage and child
rearing are all fair game in this ‘battle of the heterosexuals.’ This hilarious
revue pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, those who have fallen on
the face at the portal of romance and those who have dared to ask, “What are you
doing on Saturday night?”
