The Haunting of Hill House by F. Andrew Leslie

Ticket price: £12.50 (£8.00 on Magic Monday)
Cut off from the outside world by its remote location and shunned by all who know its forbidding and sinister reputation, Hill House has remained empty and silent except for the daily visits of its grumbling caretaker, Mrs. Dudley. Its isolation is broken by the arrival of Dr. Montague, an investigator of supernatural phenomena. His mission is to delve into the morbid history of the house and to come to grips with the occult forces that have made it uninhabitable for many years.

The Civic Players Present ‘The Murder Room’

This wonderful farce will keep you laughing throughout, with fun for all the family. A spoof of murder mystery plays taking comic timing and tongue in cheek comedy to its absolute limit!

A great play whether you're new to the theatre or a seasoned pro.

"Really a minor gem ... witty and sophisticated" ~ Newcastle Morning Herald

"Murder has never been this funny. A spoof of all crime thrillers ... it is good clean mirth all the way. The quick, smart, extremely well timed dialogue of Jack Sharkey comes through loud and clear [with] never a dull moment" ~ Times

"There are secret chambers, secret panels and trap lids galore. They're all operated by the most ridiculous contrivances and gloriously mucked up ... A high, mad melodrama" ~ Frank Harris

Kindertransport by Diane Samuels

Ticket price: £13.50 (£9.00 on Magic Monday)
Evelyn is happily settled into middle aged, middle class England. But when her daughter Faith discovers some old documents in the attic, she is forced to confront her past – the love, the horror and the humanity. In doing so she will learn to see her daughter in a new light.

First performed in London in 1993, the award winning Kindertransport is presented in commemoration of the 80th Anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. It is a moving and ultimately uplifting story of hope and survival.

“Samuels has written the best play about the pain and passion of mother/daughter relationships.” The Guardian

“A powerful contribution to Holocaust literature….presented with emotional clarity and intense sympathy.” New Yorker
