Threepenny Theatricals return with The Herd
Amateur company Threepenny Theatricals return to the Church Hill Theatre this week with four performances of actor Rory Kinnear’s first play, The Herd, from Thursday 15 to Saturday 17 September 2022.

The Rose and Crown
★★★☆☆ Mysterious:
Assiduously performed, and building up an air of mystery, The Rose and Crown has much about it that is striking.

Titus Andronicus
✭✭✭✩✩ There will be blood:
Bloody, nasty and noisy, the Grads’s production of Titus Andronicus at the Assembly Roxy has all of the ingredients of a memorable shocker but it is let down by some confused moments and a surprising politeness.

The Duchess of Malfi
✭✭✭✩✩ Dark drama
The Grads offer up a dose of Machiavellian plotting, madness and multiple murder at the Royal Scots Club in a gripping production of the Duchess of Malfi.
