Common Ground

by John Spurway

Feb. 5th - 22nd, 2026

Pam is blindsided when her husband of four years leaves her a note telling her he’s left her for another woman.

She leans on her best friend Lizzy for support as she picks up the pieces of her life. She gets a call from Jake, a potato farmer (and the other woman’s husband). He is equally bewildered by a similar note left for him. Jake is new to the area and has no Lizzy in his life, so Pam reluctantly agrees to meet him.

Over time, they find common ground in their shared experience. Full of wit, warmth and humour, Common Ground is a heartwarming comedy about love - both lost and found.

Murder at Ackerton Manor

by Steven Gallagher

Mar. 12th - 29th, 2026

One dark and stormy night, the despicable Roger Ackerton, Lord of Ackerton Manor, is murdered. Detective Pierre Pierrot is called in to solve the case—but all he has to go on is a dead body, a missing diamond, and five ridiculous suspects, each with an outlandish motive. As the clock ticks down and the suspects turn on one another, will Pierrot solve the mystery—or become the next victim?

Packed with outrageous plot twists, mistaken identities, and increasingly frantic suspects, get ready for a raucous night of laughs and mystery in the English countryside. Three talented actors portray seven eccentric characters in this fast-paced, fun-loving spoof of Agatha Christie murder mysteries.
