An adaptation of Roald Dahl's fantasy story which has touched the heart strings of audiences around the world. The storyline focuses on Charlie Bucket who becomes one of the five lucky recipients of a GOLDEN TICKET. These tickets allow the holders to spend a day with Willy Wonka in his Chocolate Factory. And that's when all the fun starts. As with most of Roald Dahl's writings, human foibles are exaggerated, making this a very entertaining show for all ages.

"Not Now, Darling" is a naughty English comedy- guaranteed fur laughs! It is rated M- for Mature Audiences and contains adult themes and scantily clad actresses!
A tremendously successful West End hit in the 1970s, this madcap comedy about minks and minx takes place at Bodley, Bodley and Crouch- an exclusive fur salon in 1960's London.
The plot is based around the antics of flamboyant womaniser, Gilbert Bodley, and his very straight-laced business partner, Arnold Crouch. Bodley gets more than he bargained for when he tries to “close the deal” with showgirl Janie McMichael by selling her mobster husband a luxurious mink coat for a fraction of its worth. However, instead of doing his own dirty work, he enlists his very reluctant partner, Crouch, to do it for him. Events quickly go "pear-shaped" and mistaken identities, scantily clad women hidden in closets, suspicious wives and misguided shoppers keep this hilarious farce rollicking along in the spirit of the "Carry On" movies!

This play takes place in the north of England (the stamping ground of all true English comedians), right on Christmas with all the usual comforting trappings - freezing weather, cheeky carollers, uninvited guests, lights that won't work! The action centres around a typical piggin', bloody, soddin' family Christmas with the added trials of long-lost relatives, a missing saw, a right pair of nutters from next door but three and two incontinent cats.

"Secret Bridesmaids' Business", screened on the ABC early last year (2002), was nominated in the category for "Most Outstanding Mini-Series" at the Logies recently.
We may not have Vince Colisimo to star in our production, but we do have an extremely talented, experienced cast! Scan your eyes over these names: Lyndel Taylor, Elaine Siemer, Brad Oversby, Dimity Wehr, Louise Paterson, Jenna Antoniolli, with Suzie Abell as director.
This will truly be a sensational show - a roller-coaster of comic moments combined with real life drama and twists about the night before a wedding (if there is a wedding in the end!).

It is summer in Portugal, and the word "share" in time-share is about to take on a whole new meaning when two adulterous couples book the same time-share villa at exactly the same time. Add a mix-up with the "poisonous" or should it be "poisoning" Portuguese staff, a sudden visit by Mumpots and other family and friends, and the result is a fine farcical romp in the grand old tradition of the "Carry On" films of yesteryear.

Mel Bell directed this production, written by American playwright Tennessee Williams. The Glass Menagerie provides a glimpse into the lives of Amanda Wingfield - a woman of great but confused vitality, clinging frantically to another time and place; her daughter Laura - a crippled, shy, fragile creature; her son Tom - a poet with a job in a warehouse who dreams of escaping his mundane existence; and Jim O'Connor, the nice, ordinary young man who enters the Wingfield family's lives as the Gentleman Caller. The play follows Amanda's attempts to create a secure future for Laura who would prefer to stay home absorbed with her own menagerie of glass figurines. All the characters provide scope for some fine acting and the play is a powerful piece of drama.
