We have our plays selected and casted at last and are ready to share with you our excitement.
As explained in our last post (read it here) we are having to reduce our season to two plays for the time being. That said we have two lovely scripts that we think you will thoroughly enjoy.
One thing to note as you read ahead – our traditional play dates have moved forward a couple of weeks so please ensure you put the right ones in your calendar.
Although it wasn’t planned that way there is a somewhat summery sporting theme here – golf and cricket. But fear not, the sport is simply a backdrop to two amusing and delightful plays about people.

A touching and poignant comedy about marriage, cricket and the dangerous lure of Bexhill-on-Sea.
Peter and Ruth have had a long and happy marriage – or so Peter believes. They each have their own interests; he loves cricket, she enjoys travel. But all is not well. as Peter discovers one afternoon when he’s dozing in his deckchair listening to the Final Test from the Oval. His wife announces she has sold the house and is moving to the coast. When the new owners move in, they discover much more than they bargained for!

Captain’s Day at The Seven Lakes Golf Club gets off to a bad start when the men’s Captain is indisposed. Club Secretary, Simon relishes the chance to take over but is soon thwarted by the arrival of Vice Captain Nick and his girlfriend. Lady Captain and hopeless Barry add to the confusion and as a series of disasters mount, tensions build and things go from bad to worse. Love or loathe golf, it will never seem quite the same again!
