2026 Wyrd Sisters AuditionsWyrd Sisters

Directed by Nigel Slaughter and Tracey Riddell

Terry Pratchett takes Macbeth then turns it up ’till the knob comes off! It’s all there – a wicked duke and duchess, the ghost of the murdered king, dim soldiers, strolling players, a land in peril. And who stands between the Kingdom and destruction? Three witches. 

"If you love Terry Pratchett, you already know you love this."

Audition dates: 6/7 of June at Riverlea Theatre 
Show dates: 3-17th October

Swallows and Amazons

2026 Swallows and Amazons holder imageSeason: 20 June - 4 July 2026

By Arthur Ransome
Adapted by Helen Edmundson
Adapted by Neil Hannon

Arthur Ransome's famous and much-loved children's classic is brought thrillingly to life in Helen Edmundson's wonderfully theatrical adaptation, with "delightfully catchy and often witty" (Telegraph).

When John, Susan, Titty and Roger are granted their wish to set sail on their beloved boat Swallow, they know it will be the summer holiday of a lifetime. But their adventure truly begins when they encounter Nancy and Peggy, the self-proclaimed Amazon Pirates, and the dastardly Captain Flint.
