According To Rumour (Farce)

MOST POPULAR IN THIS SEARCH

Carter Sutton wakes on his sofa with no memory of the night before, a mysterious girl in his apartment and fifty thousand pounds in the fridge. There’s a lot of explaining to do but throw in his mother, sister, a policeman, a pair of identical twins (who happen to never be on stage at the same time) and the postman and you’ve got all the ingredients for mayhem, misunderstandings and a whole lot of confusion. But this is only the start. As tongues wag, exaggerations and overstatements make this a 24 hours that no-one will ever forget.

Adrian - The Alternative Pantomime

A pantomime with a difference. Adrian’s not your typical inhabitant of Pantoland. He’s level-headed, and can spot the difference between a wolf and a Granny. But due to unfortunate circumstances, he’s got the job of Fairy Godmother - for everyone! This is a unique take on the tradition of pantomime which is guaranteed laughter for all ... That is depending on the version you wish to visit.
