What follows is a soul struggle of heroic and hilarious proportions in one of the comedy classics of all time

One dark autumn night away on the remote wild west coast of Mayo a young stranger stumbles into a tiny pub with a wild tale to tell. He soon captivates the inn-keepers daughter, and the rest of the women around. There seems no end to his luck and surely he will hit the stars but there are twists and surprises in J M Synges vivid and brilliant Irish masterpiece

Here at last things got better for her. A kind, young housemaid helped her to make friends with a local boy Dickon and better still with the wild animals he tames.

Together they make discoveries and unravel secrets. Mary solves the mystery of the strange noises in the house and makes another friend.

The story is told to us by a cast of all ages and some enchanting puppets.

An ideal play for all the family.

Starts at 2pm

Note: run extended to start from Monday 24th January rather than Friday 28th as previously announced

Alan Bennett wrote the six monologues which make up Talking Heads for television, although they are equally suited for the stage.Wherever they have been performed they have been received with enthusiastic acclaim by public and critics alike.

Each monologue reflects in its own way Alan Bennett's razor sharp and deeply observant view of life, seen through the eyes of six very different characters. The plays are poignant, yet very funny.

We are presenting all six of the first series of plays in our studio - three different monologues presented on alternate evenings

Three natures of unflinching determination joined in a close and pitiless conflict. The last phase in a tale of retribution for ancient woe and wrong. Gunhild and Ella who once fought for possession of John Gabriel now fight for Erhart his son but they lose him too. The adversaries had forgotten to reckon with youth and with life itself. John Gabriel pays for the sin of making a mercenary marriage (He coolly traded Ella Rentheim whom he loves for a position in a bank and then married her sister Gunhilde). But he is of giant's stature and Gunhilde and Ella are of the stock of the Valkyries. Theirs is a clash of Titans. There can be no success built on the surrender of a man's deepest sexual attachment. Yet there are moments of distant radiance and the chime of silver sledge bells.

This is perhaps the greatest play that Ibsen ever wrote. Borkman is one of drama's great obsessional characters and Ibsen has created an astonishingly vivid portrait of an egotist. An evening of intense and gripping drama (also depression, misery and suicidal angst !!)

So what happened in that time and why did it take them so long to call the police? Was it because, as they stated to the police, they needed to get permission from the publicity department of the studio before they could announce Marilyn's death? Or was it because Bobby Kennedy - Attorney General, brother of the president and brother-in Law to Peter Lawford - had been seen at Marilyn's house that day and, in order to protect Kennedy, they needed to get their stories straight and destroy any evidence of Marilyn's affair with him?

In his new well-researched play, Brian Stewart attempts to shed some light on the events that may or may not have taken place on that night in August 1962 as well as exploring the unusual, yet ambivalent, relationship Marilyn had with her last psychotherapist, Dr, Ralph Greenson. Like many of the people Marilyn attached herself to, Greenson came into her life in a professional capacity and gradually began to foster in Marilyn a sinister almost malevolent dependency upon him that may have unwittingly contributed to the events that night and, ultimately, her death.

This brand new play is a moving and hilarious comedy-drama which brings history to life by reflecting the lives of the six wives of Henry VIII in a fresh story of real, modern women.

What would happen if in 2005, a bloke called Henry was driven to fulfil his family destiny in the same way that our Tudor hero was? How would his women feel, react and what lengths would they each go to to keep their man and their head?

The Regina Monologues is written by Rebecca Russell and Jenny Wafer, Tidemark's award winning writers whose first play together, 'The Ladies' was a sell-out success fringe in 1996. Both have a keen eye for perfectly pitching dialogue and their observational style is always loaded with humour and plenty of pathos.

The Regina Monologues re-tells the story of six sixteenth century women and the man they all loved, dragging them kicking and screaming into 2005.

Mingle with guests, enjoy a hot and cold Greek buffet supper and a glass or two of wine and then watch as the events of the evening reception unfold for the family in the studio theatre. Eavesdrop on each of the conversations as they take place at Table 12. What skeletons are lurking in their cupboards? Top table traumas and relationships under scrutiny.

A typical family wedding! A lively evening of fun and entertainment. Supper, wine and theatre, 15 per ticket

It will be our first presentation of an ancient Greek drama and of great interest to local schools involved with classical studies
