Brandon Thomas's celebrated farce…

The Hound of the Baskervilles
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Adapted by Steven Canny, John Nicholson

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most celebrated Sherlock Holmes story gets a gloriously funny makeover. When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on his estate, with a look of terror still etched on his face, and the paw prints of a gigantic hound beside his body, the great detective Sherlock Holmes is summoned from Baker Street, with Dr Watson in tow, to unravel the mysteries surrounding his death, and investigate the ancient curse of the Hound of the Baskervilles...

The Time Machine: A Comedy
Steven Canny, John Nicholson

Dave is the great-great grandson of H.G. Wells, author of the 1895 novella The Time Machine, a book that foretold (with suspicious accuracy) the future of the human species. What if the ideas in that book weren't entirely fiction? Right now, Dave and his friends Amy and Michael must set out on a journey through time… the journey of a lifetime!

Midnight Murder at Hamlington Hall
Mark Kilmurry and Jamie Oxenbould

It is the opening night of director-writer Shane Tweed's new murder mystery, Midnight Murder at Hamlington Hall. Seven of the amateur theatre company's cast are down with the dreaded lurgy. So the Middling Cove Players' director and two of the remaining actors, and whoever else Shane can co-opt, pitch in to continue the long tradition of 'the show must go on'. Juggling nerves, props, and absurd miscasting, will they manage to pull it off?

Whisky Galore
Compton Mackenzie Adapted by Philip Goulding

It's 1955 and the Pallas Players, an all-female theatre company, are putting on a play: Whisky Galore. Philip Goulding's stage adaptation of Compton Mackenzie's comedy classic is a tribute to the feisty all-female touring theatre companies of the post-war years.

The Servant of Two Masters
Rosa Campagnaro, Carlo Goldoni

Hungry servant Truffaldino bites off more than he can chew when he agrees to serve two masters at the same time! Now he must hold everything together without exposing his scam and woo his love interest, spicy Smeraldina, all at the same time. A calamitous comedy unfolds as Truffaldino skids and schemes his way through multiple beatings, mistaken identity and love gone awry on the streets of decadent 18th-century Venice. 

The Turquoise Elephant
Stephen Carleton

The Massive Tragedy of Madame Bovary
Gustave Flaubert Adapted by John Nicholson, Javier Marzan

Laugh and cry in equal measure as Emma Bovary chooses the wrong husband. Lose yourself in mesmeric love scenes featuring a procession of devastatingly attractive men. Rail at the fate of women in a patriarchal society, if you will. Prepare yourself for vermin, moustaches, wild animals, lots of French people and a nun.

NaGL (Not a Good Look)
Lech Mackiewicz

Old Uncle Chuck rings the bell and in 22 boxing rounds, a family battles it out. With clatter and clutter, they are always divided and united. It's our family. It's our nation. It's not a good look ... but look we must!
