Will he surrender or fight on - whatever the cost? Experience the coming-of-age of Britain’s greatest hero in this gripping true story of adventure, audacity and Imperial folly.

Followed by a Q & A from writer/performer Freddie Machin on the letters & photographs that inspired the show’s creation.

Tues 10 - Sat 14 Sept 7.45pm

By Yasmina Reza

A minor spat in a public park. Two couples meet to sort out their sons’ playground punch-up. But diplomatic niceties soon begin to unravel. Alain’s constant distraction by work calls infuriates Annette. As the alcohol flows, Véronique and Michel come to realise their marriage is also in jeopardy. Everything’s set for an explosion.

In this excoriating dissection of modern manners, award winning writer Yasmina Reza reveals the perilously thin veneer that masks our true natures. Witty, sometimes hilarious, often almost too painful to watch, this play promises a rollercoaster ride.

An amateur performance by our resident theatre company.
Warning: Contains some strong language.
