Calendar Girls
Based on a true story and the hit 2003 film, Calendar Girls by Tim Firth follows Annie and her best friend Chris as they raise funds for the local hospital by creating a calendar featuring themselves and their friends from the Women’s Institute—in tastefully nude poses. This heart-warming and hilarious play celebrates friendship, community, and the power of ordinary people to make a difference.
Machinal
Helen Jones seemingly had a happy marriage until she murdered her husband. Based on the true crime story of Ruth Snyder in 1928, Machinal by Sophie Treadwell is a pulse-pounding journey of someone pushed to breaking point by the relentless machinery of life, expectation, and convention. Rosie Sheehy's outstanding performance in this Ustinov Studio, Theatre Royal Bath production is not to be missed.
Harry Clarke
The play follows Philip Brugglestein, a man with a secret identity as the seductive Londoner Harry. Billy Crudup delivers a captivating performance in this tale of a man's thrilling double life, directed by Leigh Silverman. With comparisons to The Talented Mr. Ripley and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, this mysterious intrigue keeps audiences guessing.
