A Little Box of Oblivion by Stephen Bean

Directed by Moyra Brookes

A woman puts a box down next to a stranger in a park, giving strict instructions before she rushes off, not to move, knock, tilt or open it. Passers-by offer suggestions as to what’s inside and what should be done with it – is it a bomb, some deadly Anthrax or even a severed head? At last, exasperated by these highly opinionated people, the stranger shakes and rattles the box, only to be berated by the returning woman, who reveals all……..

An amateur production by arrangement with Stagescripts Ltd.

Last Tango in Little Grimley by David Tristram

Directed by Moyra Brookes

Membership of the local amateur drama society has dwindled to four. Time for dramatic action. There’s only one thing that sells tickets these days – sex. But how will the locals react to the promise of a sizzling sex comedy….
