The Play That Goes Wrong
It’s opening night for the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society’s production of the 1920s murder mystery Murder of Haversham Manor and from lights up the cast and crew are in an uphill battle to the final curtain. The set isn’t steady and neither are the actors as they trip over their lines, set pieces and a murder victim who has a hard time playing dead. In this uproarious comedy, anything that can go wrong, absolutely will… with fantastic flair! 2015 London’s Olivier Award for Best New Comedy

Lizard Boy
When Trevor was a child, a strange encounter with a dragon left his skin green and scaly. Now, he only leaves his house once a year for MonsterFest, the one day where he feels safe to share his skin with the world—and this year, Trevor has a date! When another survivor warns him that the dragons may be returning, Trevor must decide if he has the courage to save the world … and his first date. This brand new production of a PNW cult hit, filled with local talent, offers up an exuberant, electrifying, joyful coming-of-age musical that proves we’re all superheroes; sometimes, to change the world, all we need is to access our inner superpowers and get a little help from our friends!
