The UK is in crisis: debt is spiralling, unemployment is on the rise and the fragile coalition cabinet, led by Prime Minister Jim Hacker, is at breaking point. But salvation may exist in the form of a complex pipeline deal with the oil-rich country of Kumranistan.

Will the PM and his team manage to save the Euro from collapsing, resolve the energy crisis, solve the debt crisis, control the media and avoid public humiliation?

Shady political machinations, sexed-up dossiers, and sleaze abound, in this sparkling satirical comedy.

Greg & Ginny are living together but Greg is becoming increasingly concerned that he is not the only man in Ginny’s life! In an effort to get to know her better he follows her to an address in Buckinghamshire determined to introduce himself to whom he presumes to be her parents… Philip and Sheila. The situation becomes increasingly complicated and hilarious as a case of mistaken identity continues to baffle everyone involved. Ingenious comic joy from the pen of Alan Ayckbourn.

It’s 1992 and, for five 16 year-old girls, ‘the band’ is everything. Fast forward 25 years, and the same group of girls, who were once inseparable, reunite in Prague to see their heartthrobs one last time, and try yet again to fulfil their dream of meeting the boy band whose music became the soundtrack to their lives. It’s a story of enduring friendships, loss, love and forgotten promises.

The Band features the music of Take That, one of Britain’s most successful boy bands of all time. Songs include: Never Forget, Back For Good, A Million Love Songs, Greatest Day, The Flood, Light My Fire, Shine and Rule The World to name just a few.
