Woads Presents... Agatha Crusty and The Village Hall Murders Agatha Crusty is a crime novelist. She's also pretty adept at solving crimes. And when her sister-in-law Alice invites her to spend a few days with her in the village of Chortelby, it's not long before she gets caught up in a series of murders which seem directed at members of the All Saints Village Hall committee. From Toby, the Vicar, and Eleanor, Chair of the committee, to Harry Knott the caretaker and identical twins Olivia and Oliver Truscott-Pratt, there are plenty of suspects. And with an investigating officer as incompetent as D.I. Twigg, there are plenty of laughs as the murders begin to pile up. But, while packed full of wit and very funny scenes, this is also a genuine murder mystery with an ingenious plot which will tax the little grey cells of the audience at the same time!

IODS Presents... Company On the night of his 35th birthday, confirmed bachelor Robert, struggles to think of a wish to make as he blows out his birthday candles. Robert contemplates his unmarried state. The lone bachelor, surrounded by “those good and crazy people”, his married friends, Robert is uncertain whether he should simply be happy with his lot or whether he should wish for his own romantic partner. Over a series of dinner parties, first dates, thoughtful conversations, and even a wedding, Robert attempts to understand the pros and cons of marriage from his diverse and frequently hilarious friends. Robert is forced to question his adamant retention of bachelorhood and begins to make sense of why he is unwilling to marry. Company, Stephen Sondheim’s ground-breaking modern musical, is a mature, intelligent, and wildly funny look at relationships, vulnerability, and “being alive.” Early Bird: £16 - available until 28th February 2025 Ticket prices include £1.50 Theatre Maintenance Levy
