A Cheery Soul is a surreal satirical masterpiece set in the fictional Sydney suburb of Sarsaparilla at the end of the 1950s. Miss Docker is one of Nobel Laureate Patrick’s White’s most memorable creations. She and her neighbours are as hilarious and peculiar as they are uncannily familiar. Miss Docker the delightfully ghastly, relentlessly upbeat ‘cheery soul’ takes us on a dizzying ride through suburban Australia, as her search for purpose and love leads her in a series of increasingly surreal acts. From over-pruned tomato plants, a damaged roast a nursing home, a church and the destructive power of good. Nothing’s as bad as a good neighbour

“I'm just as good as bloody Pierrepoint.” In 1965 in his small pub in Oldham, Harry is something of a local celebrity. But what's the second-best hangman in England to do now that they've abolished hanging? Amongst the cub reporters and sycophantic pub regulars, dying to hear Harry's reaction to the news, a peculiar stranger lurks, with a very different motive for his visit. Martin McDonagh's black comedy/thriller premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in September 2015. It won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play 2016. Directed by Nick Fagan

Written by Sir Terry Pratchett Sporadic Productions is proud to present a stage adaptation of Sir Terry Pratchett’s bestselling Discworld novel “Maskerade”. This comedic murder mystery parodies The Phantom of the Opera while weaving a fantastical tale about the masks – figurative and literal - that we all wear. Welcome to the Ankh-Morpork Opera House, home to music, theatrics, and a masked ghost… where dying on stage is a bit more than just a metaphor. Young not-quite-a-witch, Agnes Nitt has left her home in Lancre to seek a career at the Opera House. Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg, on their way to Ankh-Morpork for... unrelated reasons... would much rather she return home and join their coven. Opera is nothing if not dramatic, and now all three are caught up in a maelstrom of masked mayhem and maniacal laughter (delivered via handwritten note), but most certainly not featuring a precariously hanging chandelier. As the corpses pile up and the corps de ballet clamour for additional hazard pay, only one thing is certain – the show must go on! “Maskerade” written by Sir Terry Pratchett Adapted by Stephen Briggs Directed by Danny Sag
