It’s jolly hockey sticks at the ready as Daisy Meredith, a plucky girl from a poor background, is the first pupil allowed to attend the posh Grangewood School for Girls on a scholarship.
This parody of a typical English boarding school is a rip-roaring, whizzo of a treat that was a long-running success in London’s West End.
Not only must Daisy fit in with her snobby and snotty chums, it seems like saving the school is a lesson she must learn.
With schoolgirl pranks a-plenty, this youth-led comedy is lashings of fun.
Age range recommendation - from 11 years.

In Victorian London, while the Jack Manningham is on the town each evening, his new wife Bella is home alone at number nine, Thornton Square. She can’t explain the disappearance of familiar objects, the mysterious footsteps overhead, or the ghostly flickering of living room gaslights, which seem to slowly dim down until they barely cast any light at all. Is she losing her mind, as her mother did before her? Her memories are haunted by an aunt violently murdered and a mother consigned to the asylum. Is the terror all in her mind, or are there dark secrets dwelling in her home?
Just as she is on the point of despair, she is visited by Rough, a retired detective, who has been on Manningham’s trail for 20 years. He has been using the maid Nancy’s boyfriend as an informant, and after enlisting the help of the housekeeper, Elizabeth, he manages to convince Bella to go along with his scheme to snare Manningham once and for all.
Nail biting tension is worked up to a frightening crescendo…
Better known on Broadway under the title Angel Street, the 1944 American movie of Gaslight starred Charles Boyer, Joseph Cotton, and Ingrid Bergman, who won the Best Actress Academy Award for her role as Bella.

From the Director of Bob Hope Theatre’s version of Kindertransport comes Allan Osborne second production Bluebird. Staring Laura Ashenden (Nell Gwynn; Bomshells; Little Voice and Road) and Piers Newman (Road and Nell Gwynn) and 12 other sensational actors who have all performed at the Bob Hope Theatre - this promised to be a sesational moving production.
From the writer/adapter of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Bluebird is a sensitive and melancholy play, composed of brief conversations and lifelong sorrow.
Taxi driver Jimmy hears about other people’s lives, just for a few moments.
In the time it takes to drive them where they want to go, Jimmy hears about walking the streets, lost daughters and changing the lightbulbs by the tube tracks. He is asked whether he believes in ghosts, in love, in the human spirit. And as he drives through the night, the play gets closer to the core of his silences, to the tragedy of his own life, and to where he goes when there’s no one in the back seat of his cab.
The play has 13 characters who share a cab journey in one evening. All are somehow connected to Jimmy; as we finally find out what has led to Jimmy’s downfall.
The play is about redemption and deep grief but told in a humorous way with a real sense of pathos.

Trelawny of the "Wells" is an 1898 comic play with four acts set in the 1860’s by Sir Arthur Wing Pinero, who started his career in British theatre as an actor at the age of 19 and between 1877 and 1934 was a successful society dramas and comedies playwright.
This particular production tells the story of a theatre star, renown for her performances in melodrama plays - Rose Trelawny - who attempts to give up her acting career for love when she marries her well-to-do sweetheart. Alas, family life turns out to be a bit too dull for her outrageous personality and Rose struggles to fit into conventional society.
Feeling rather fed up, Rose runs back to the theatre however her experience of the "real world" has affected her talent and she finds it impossible to recapture that "special something". Not willing to give up so easily though, Rose and her troupe of talented individuals find a new way to present her new stage self, with some romantic and jolly good fun shenanigans along the way.
Trelawny of the 'Wells' has been adapted for stage, film and TV in various guises and has featured the likes of Cecil Hepworth, Alma Taylor, Sidney Franklin, Norma Shearer, Arthur Cox, Jason Connery, Patricia Brake, Sarah Brightman, Peter Bayliss, Helena Bonham Carter, Richard Bremmer, Helen McCrory and Adam Kotz.
