SEX AND DRUGS AND RICK 'n' NOEL

David Tristram’s latest comedy is the funny and touching story of two mature students studying History and a lot more at University.  The play centres around Rick, who loses many of the people and things important to him in the space of a few months.  He is forced to make drastic changes and bravely heads off to University despite being in his mid-40s. The fun starts when he tries to fit in with his new friend and bad influence, Noel.  This laugh out loud comedy is by the same author as “The Secret Lives of Henry & Alice”, which audiences found so hysterical when performed at the KMT last year. Not suitable for children

A BREATH OF SPRING

In Peter Coke’s famous comedy, Dame Beatrice houses a collection of middle-ages “guests” plus Lily, her maid.  To repay Dame Beatrice for giving her a job in spite of her criminal background, Lily presents her with a gift – a mink stole filched from the flat next door.  The Brigadier deploys his “troops” to return the fur.  The whole campaign is so invigorating, that the “guests” decide to embark on a series of similar daring escapades.  You will be amazed at the hilarious antics of these apparently respectable citizens.
