Events

Friday 17th October – Dead on Cue – Starts 8pm (doors open 7.15pm)

From the acclaimed creative minds behind Into The Breach, What’s Wrong with Benny Hill?, Old Herbaceous and Three Men in a Boat comes a brand new theatrical thriller that promises chills, suspense and unforgettable twists.

Two performances of Hamlet. One dressing room. Sixty years apart.

But something isn’t right…

As the past and present blur, strange events unfold and long-buried secrets rise to the surface. That old mirror in the dressing room? It reflects more than just the actors – it reveals something far more sinister.

Expect gasps, goosebumps, and gripping drama from start to finish with spine-tingling storytelling and a haunting atmosphere, this is live theatre at its most electrifying. Perfect for fans of thrillers, ghost stories and edge-of-your-seat suspense. “Giles Shenton draws us into his world making the characters so real you feel you have known them forever” – Edinburgh Fringe Review

Tickets are £13.50 for adults and £10 for children (age 12-18). These are available to buy now from our Ticket Source page (click below)
