159 - Clerical Errors (2009)

By GEORGINA REID
James Martin’s simple, moral upbringing is suddenly shattered by the encampment of the Briggs family in his now disused Methodist chapel. Their unorthodox lifestyle shows James a side of life he never knew existed! Young Julie’s spirit and determination to keep her family together against all odds and her honest, if unconventional, appraisal of James’ congregation forces him to re-examine his own approach to life.

158 - Lord Arthur Saville's Crime (2008)

By CONSTANCE COX
Based on a short story by OSCAR WILDE
Lord Arthur is to be married, and his future mother-in-law, who rather disapproves of him, gets a famous palmist to read his palm to discover any skeletons in his cupboard.
Warned by the fortune teller that he will commit a murder, Lord Arthur determines to do it before he marries.
This proves to be harder than he had thought and after a number of failed attempts, with the aid of a foreign anarchist and his faithful butler, Baines, a surprising revelation comes to light, which results in a satisfying if not an immediate happy ending.

(This is the second time we performed this play. The first time was in 1994)
