Set in 1912 this play begins rather like a thriller with the enigmatic Inspector Goole disrupting Sheila Birling’s engagement party, to hold the family to account for the suicide of a young woman.
As the play unfolds you find out all is not as it seems. Who is Inspector Goole? Is his conviction that ‘we are all responsible for each other’ shared by the family?
The play premiered in Moscow in 1945- Priestley being one of the few British writers to be invited to the Soviet Union, a year later it was performed at the New ( now the Noel Coward) theatre London with Ralph Richardson as the Inspector.
From the Film with Alastair Sim.
Almost ten later a film was made with Alastair Sim as the witty inspector.
The most recent Award winning production was at the Wyndham’s Theatre in 2009 and continued touring until 2012.
Rehearsals are well under way for this new play, coming very soon!
We are currently auditioning for our Spring 2015 production of the chamber opera Sweeney Todd by Stephen Sondheim.

South Pacific opened on Wednesday 9th April 2014
Directed by Pat Smith with Musical Direction by Isabel Platt and Choreography by Susie Clarke.
South Pacific is set on a Pacific island during World War II this classic musical tells the story of the American men and women stationed there and their relationships with the islanders.
The characters include Bloody Mary, a Tonkinese wheeler -dealer and her beautiful daughter Liat. And then there is Nellie, a nurse who falls in love with Emile, a French plantation owner, but struggles to accept his mixed-race children.
Casting has been completed and extensive rehearsals too – all in preparation for one of our most ambitious productions yet.
South Pacific is considered to be one of the greatest Broadway musicals and premiered in 1949 and won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1950 and ranks among the most celebrated of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s acclaimed musicals.
The Broadway production won ten Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Libretto, and it is the only musical production to have won all four Tony Awards for acting.
South Pacific is a towering musical masterpiece and the tender love story of a naive young Navy nurse (Mitzi Gaynor) and an older French Plantation owner (Rossano Brazzi) on a U.S. occupied South Sea island.
The breathtaking score is highlighted by some of the most romantic songs ever written: “Some Enchanted Evening,” “There is Nothin’ Like a Dame”, “Younger Than Springtime”, “Wash that man right outta my hair” and more.
