THE FANCY MAN by Mike Stott
“At once funny and immensely moving. Particularly impressive is the way the play moves between knockabout comedy and bittersweet tragedy.'' Time Out

Does Amy Granville have a ‘fancy man’?
Set in a small Pennine village in the 1920’s, Amy and Arthur have been married just under a year, but the small community begins to talk in whispers when Amy starts visiting the public baths twice a week and taking long walks alone. Arthur is more interested in cricket, football, and his pigeons. In an attempt to inspire more romance in their relationship, Amy does nothing to dispel the rumours of her ‘fancy man’. Contains some nudity. |

ALL ABOUT MURDER by Brian Clemens & Dennis Spooner
“A crossword puzzle that begins looking disarmingly simple, and quickly proves it’s as cryptic as they come – and it’s also very funny!” Nottingham Evening Post
|
Two successful thriller writers are struggling for inspiration, and their financial resources are rapidly dwindling. Desperately searching for a new idea, they decide to first imagine a victim and then fit the mystery plot around their dead body. “We need a victim the audience would cheerfully hate,”.......... but will their best plot in years run and run?
A murder mystery with attitude, that sucks you in from the minute it opens and spits you out – bewildered, shocked and yet entirely satisfied at the final curtain. |
