MASKERADE
by Terry Pratchett
A brilliant young soprano, strange accidents in an opera house, glimpses of a phantom and, of course, three witches! It’s not what you think, and very, very funny. Terry Pratchett’s hilarious take on “Phantom”, brings us to Ankh-Morpork’s famous Opera House, where Death stalks and occasionally stops for a curry.

A DREAM PLAY
by August Strinberg, adaptation by Caryl Churchill
In Strindberg’s words “Everything can happen, everything is possible and probable. Time and place do not exist.” A dream Play is a beautiful but tormented play examining joy and suffering in a bittersweet exploration of what it means to be human.

LE MALADE IMAGINAIRE
by Molière
Le Malade Imaginaire was Molière’s final curtain-call (he died after playing the lead role in its first four performances) but his comic verve is at its peak in this funniest of all his plays, full of a zest for life and scorn for professional pomposity.
Tickets: £5
