the Raft the Raft,
by New Zealand author Carl Nixon, directed by Sian Davis

Season dates: Fri 2nd to Sat 17th Sept. at TheatreWorks, Recreation Drive, Birkenhead.

In The Raft, Mark and Tonia attempt to rescue their marriage in the family bach on the West Coast bach over a stormy weekend, and are stranded there by a flooded river when Mark's parents unexpectedly show up. Thrown together with no escape, they have to confront painful events from their past.


The Wind in the Willows The Wind in the Willows,
by Joseph Baldwin based on the famous work by Kenneth Grahame and directed by Elizabeth Waite.

Season dates: 15 - 23 July 2011, at TheatreWorks, Recreation Drive, Birkenhead.

The characters of Ratty, Mole, Badger and, of course, the inimitable Toad, have delighted generations of readers.

Once Toad sees his first motor-car, his thirst for speed sees him thrown into prison. The story finshes with a daring escape from prison and an epic battle for Toad Hall! Great fun for all in this family classic.


1984 1984,
by George Orwell, adapted for the stage by Alan Lyddiard and directed by Syd Mannion.

Season dates: 1 - 16 April 2011, at TheatreWorks, Recreation Drive, Birkenhead.

1984 is a powerful examination of what might have been – and may still be. It is a work of fiction, not prophesy. It is an extrapolation of the history and political philosophies of the early twentieth century - Francisco Franco’s “New State”, Hitler’s Third Reich and Leninist and Stalinist Communist Russia. A complex multi-media production merging live performance with pre-recorded video and audio. . . .
