This egg-citing egg-stravaganza is sure to sell out!

A sweet little old lady, alone in her house, is pitted against a gang of criminal misfits who will stop at nothing.

Posing as amateur musicians, Professor Marcus and his gang rent rooms in the lopsided house of sweet but eccentric Mrs Wilberforce. The villains plot to involve her, unwittingly, in Marcus's brilliantly conceived heist job. The police are left stumped but Mrs Wilberforce becomes wise to their ruse and Marcus concludes that there is only one way to keep the old lady quiet.

With only her parrot, General Gordon, to help her, Mrs Wilberforce is alone with five desperate men. But who will be forced to face the music?

A play both macabre and hilariously funny, this is definitely not one to be missed!

At the outbreak of war in 1914, the 700 strong local battalion from Accrington, Lancashire marched off optimistically in response to Lord Kitchener's call – Your Country Needs YOU!

Peter Whelan's powerful and poignant play is set in the early years of the First World War, as the country's jingoistic optimism starts to wane and the true terror of warfare gradually becomes clear.

The Accrington Pals portrayed the devastating effects of war on a typical Lancashire mill town, and the highs and lows of everyday people at home and on the front line.

Based on the original characters created for the Frankie Howard BBC comedy, Up Pompeii! was a hilarious romp through ancient Pompeii with all the TV favourites!

As Lucrio attempted to deliver his prologue and begin proceedings, he was quickly caught up in the myriad of sexual liaisons in all quarters of his master's house.

Why did Ludicrious not leave for the Senate meeting in Rome? Why did his wife return so quickly from the country? Who took care of the escaped slave girl, Voluptua, and did Nausius's love poetry improve?

Whilst growing chaos ensued, an increasing rumble was heard in the distance - what could that possibly have been? This was a riot from start to finish.

When four strangers were suddenly thrown together on the site of a sinister junkyard, they worked together using only their wits and cunning to survive not only their pursuers, but the strange and wonderful inhabitants of the tip.

Using a mixture of physical theatre, special effects and music, this production by our own Youth Theatre brought to life a brand new and original story of the battles between good and evil, of families, and the power of friendship.

A Tomb with a View is a popular, fast-moving, gothic comedy triller by Norman Robbins. With laughs and dead bodies in profusion, this play opened as a wolf howls to the moon. In the Library, Hamilton Penworthy, solicitor, reads the will of the late-departed Septimus Tomb.

The eccentric Tombs are seething. They want to know who is Miss Ash? Why has she been left a fortune? Flora Ash, writer of romantic fiction, soon arrives with her secretary, young Peregrine. And then, mysteriously, the corpses start to pile up.

Who survived to inherit the millions? The plot twisted and turned to a surprising conclusion that was well received by our audiences.

For acclaimed playwrights Sandor Turai and Alex Gal, their transatlantic journey from Cherbourg to New York should have been plain sailing. Their new musical comedy was all but finished - there was just the trivial matter of the ending to sort out - and their protégé composer Adam, who was rapturously in love with their exotic leading lady, Natasha Navratilova. Four days' sailing, a Broadway première, another smash hit: what could possibly go wrong?

As both ship and show hit heavy weather, the line between reality and musical comedy became increasingly blurred. Stoppard's deliriously funny play was an affectionate tribute to the Golden Age of sophisticated comedy. With jokes that would have delighted Coward, and songs that Irving Berlin might have penned, Rough Crossing was a feast of verbal wit, physical comedy, and sheer theatrical virtuosity that went down well with our audience.

Deep in the bowels of a tabloid newspaper office, the clock was ticking with only an hour left before the presses had to roll...

A controversial photo of a topless children's TV star mysteriously turned up. Who sent it? And was it all it seemed?

Damages was a witty and contemporary (im)morality tale of power-hungry hacks, suicidal sub-editors, and razor-sharp lawyers all trying to put the past and the paper to bed.
