Robinson Crusoe
Robinson Crusoe
Celebrating our Platinum Anniversary by revisiting the very first show performed by The Little Theatre Donnington in 1954. This reimagined version of the classic story follows Robinson, who, with the help of his friends Sally and Billy, and his trusty companion, Friday the parrot, embarks on an adventure to find the treasure before the evil Blackheart gets his hands on it.
Hello, Dolly!
In 1890s New York City, the bold and enchanting widow Dolly Levi is a socialite-turned-matchmaker. Her latest clients seeking assistance are the cantankerous "half-a-millionaire" Horace Vandergelder and a young artist named Ambrose, who is in love with Horace's niece, Ermengarde. Dolly's scheming soon involves Horace's employees as well as a New York hatmaker, as she tries to cover up her own secret romantic designs.
Habeas Corpus
A hilarious romp as members of the Wicksteed family pursue their romantic and lustful ambitions.
In a satirical merry-go-round of mistaken identities and amorous encounters, we meet a series of characters for whom carnal pleasure appears to be the ruling passion of their lives.
One of master playwright Alan Bennett’s funniest plays.
Waiting for God
Beloved characters from an old show are reimagined, dealing with aging and rebellion. At Bayview Retirement Village, Diana and Tom team up against their manipulative manager, leading to touching results.
Peter Pan
This year we bring you the magical story of the boy who never grew up - Peter Pan. The story, written by Sir J M Barrie is a timeless classic full of thrills, spills and adventure involving Pirates, Fairies, Red-Indians, Mermaids and Lost Boys.
Calendar Girls
The death of a much loved husband prompts a group of ordinary women in a small Yorkshire Women's Institute to do an extraordinary thing. Blasting away all preconceptions of the WI, they decide to do an artistic nude calendar to raise money for charity. Gradually the making of the fabulous and funny calendar brings each woman unexpectedly into flower.
