Winter Double-Bill

In June, we present a Double-Bill of two very contrasting one-act plays:

Roses are Red

Written and directed by our very own Paul Topliss

You enjoyed Paul’s take on the classic Pantomime, Cinderella, that we
performed in 2017. Now he turns his hand at drama with Roses are Red.

A drama set in Germany just before the fall of the Berlin wall. Full of conflict and emotion.

Costa del Packet

Written by Anthony Booth
Directed by Lynne Davis

Four women arrive at Costa del Sol on a package tour. They find themselves stranded in a workman’s hut on the site of their hotel, which is not even constructed yet. Determined not to let their husbands know that they have been conned, they decide not to return home and determinedly try to make the best of everything. It is, however, far from easy!
