21 June 7.30pm

Patterns Directed by Sandra Loveday
Performed by Emma Daw and Joe McNulty
Two detectives are hunting the man with the winning smile who gives lonely, middle-aged women the happiest six months of their lives. In this haunting new musical, composer Daniel Loveday explores alienation and loneliness in modern society where, with little social cohesion, people can easily fall under the radar.

We’ve had great audience feedback

“The play was really, really good and made for a great evening’s entertainment. Clever stuff and completely amazing considering the background! All the people I’ve spoken to enjoyed it very much as well.”
“I really enjoyed your show. A great script, well crafted with a fine twist and some good melodies too. Well done.”
“I was so impressed with your show on Friday.  I still can’t believe that you managed to put all that together … write the script and the musical score, play the lead role and play the keyboard!  Incredible!”
“You deserve some kind of a medal for last night’s production – Sooooooooo  much work gone into it and it turned out well. A good team you’ve got there. We really enjoyed it – we’ll send people to see it in Exeter.”

A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen

Cygnet Company

Director: Alistair Ganley

The Helmers’ conventional marriage is shaken to the foundations by the revelation of long-kept secrets.  Nora’s journey from pretty girl-wife to self-determining woman is one of theatre’s defining stories.

Ibsen’s most famous play still makes an eloquent plea for the equality of individuals 130 years after its first explosive performance.

The Importance of Being Earnest
by Oscar Wilde

A trivial comedy for serious people

Cygnet Company:    Director: Jacquie Crago

Jack wants to marry Gwendolen, but there are two obstacles: her mother who is a ‘Gorgon’…. and Gwendolen’s ideal ‘to love someone of the name of Ernest’ … Meanwhile, with the discovery that Jack has ‘an excessively pretty ward, who is only just eighteen’, his friend Algy sees the perfect opportunity for some Bunburying at Jack’s place in the country!

These are the ingredients for Oscar Wilde’s most witty confection: lost babies, lost luggage, lost relations – all enhanced by equally witty music by Monica Shallis.

This is a live musical version with songs interspersed in the text.

Poltimore House (Open Air)

Cygnet Company    Director Brian Friel

1936: harvest time in Ballybeg, County Donegal.  Set against the ancient Festival of Lughnasa, we accompany Michael back to his childhood home, with his mother and aunts, the Mundy sisters, and returning African missionary, Uncle Jack, their elder brother.
We share the joys and sorrow of the sisters, trapped by poverty, and their escape from drudgery with banter and dancing to the Marconi wireless, hoping to find love and a continuing future together.

A warm and compelling play by Brian Friel,  one of the greatest modern Irish writers.

Tickets £10 (£8,£6)
