FUNNY MONEY by Ray Cooney - 18 to 22 Jan 2022
Another joyous helping of Ray Cooney comedy magic!
When Henry Perkins trues to escape to Barcelona with a cash-stuffed briefcase he's found on a train, confusion mounts on confusion with an inevitable hysterical conclusion ... Henry's long-suffering wife Jean nearly has a nervous breakdown, friends Betty and Vic Johnson find themselves helplessly involved, add in two policemen and a taxi driver whose lives will never be the same again, and not to mention the not-so-sinister stranger who's ended up with Henry's briefcase instead of his own with the money!
"a whole lot of laughs ... a thoroughly uproarious time is had by all, especially the audience" Derbyshire Times

RATTLE OF A SIMPLE MAN by Charles Dyer - 1 to 5 Feb 2022
Charles Dyer's Traditional bittersweet comedy with a heart.
When artless Percy comes down to London with his mates for a football match, he rashly accepts a £50 bet to finish off the evening with a girl who’s approached him in a club. But once back at her bedsit, and with the drink wearing off, he finds it not quite as easy to join the sexual revolution as he’d hoped … despite Cyrenne’s best efforts! Set firmly in the swinging sixties,Charles Dyer’s funny and perceptive play is an endearing classic that has received many West End revivals, and a memorable production by our own Tabs Productions.
