OUR 2012 SEASON
BOOKINGS ARE NOW OPEN!
Sandcastles by Bob Larbey
Directed by Judy Kelly
Stan and Bernice Billet and William and Margaret Patterson have been taking their holidays at the same beach for years. They don't exactly rule the waves but they have turned the area around their beach huts into a cosy little fiefdom. And then along comes Doug, with his nubile nieces. They don't care about beach hut protocol ? they just want to have fun! Bob Larbey famously wrote 'The Good Life' (with John Esmonde). Other hits include the TV comedies 'A Fine Romance' and 'As Time Goes By', the plays 'A Month of Sundays' and 'Building Blocks', and the dramatisation of the 'Darling Buds of May'.

Fiddlers Three by Eric Chappell
Directed by Colleen Boyle
Sutherland Theatre Company?s favourite playwright is back! After our hugely enjoyable productions of Father?s Day, Summer End, Natural Causes and Theft, we are pleased to announce the inclusion of Eric Chappell?s Fiddlers Three in our 2012 season. Inside the offices of Multiple Holdings three accounts clerks try to not only avoid the sack but achieve promotion. Rex, an anxious father of three with a ten-year-old Ford Cortina and burgeoning bills, is temporarily in the chair of a former senior colleague who has collapsed and is destined never to return. When the office junior, Osborne, is threatened with losing his job, Harry suggests they all threaten to resign ? starting with Rex. So this comedy of office politics gets under way

Calendar Girls by Tim Firth
Directed by Colleen Boyle and Judy Kelly
Adapted from the smash hit 2003 comedy film, Calendar Girls will make you laugh, cry and come out singing Jerusalem When Annie's husband John dies of leukaemia, she and best friend Chris resolve to raise money for a new settee in the local hospital waiting room. They manage to persuade four fellow WI members to pose nude with them for an "alternative" calendar, with a little help from hospital porter and amateur photographer Lawrence. The news of the women's charitable venture spreads like wildfire, and hordes of press soon descend on the small village of Knapeley in the Yorkshire Dales. The calendar is a success, but Chris and Annie's friendship is put to the test under the strain of their new-found fame.
Performance dates:
Sunday 4th November 2pm, Wednesday 7th November 8pm, Friday 9th November 8pm, Saturday 10th November 2pm, Sunday 11th November 2pm, Friday 16th November 8pm, and Saturday 17th November 8pm. All three plays are presented by special arrangement with Dominie Pty Ltd
