Thrzzz's a Crowd

A programme featuring three very different one-act plays, offering an evening of mystery, comedy and theatrical fun, with something for everyone to enjoy.

"The Wasp's Nest" Directed by Granville Rush
The Wasp's Nest is a classic Agatha Christie mystery featuring the famous detective Hercule Poirot. What begins as a seemingly innocent visit soon uncovers a web of jealousy, suspicion and hidden motives. As Poirot pieces together the clues, he must act quickly to prevent a deadly crime before it's too late.

"Anger Management" Directed by Juliet Richards
Anger Management is a fast-paced comedy set in the waiting room of an anger management clinic. As an unlikely group of patients gathers for their session, tempers begin to fray, personalities clash, and chaos quickly takes over. Packed with witty dialogue and colourful characters, it's a hilarious look at what happens when nobody can keep their cool.

"Ruby of Elsinore" Directed by Ralph Camp
Ruby of Elsinore is a satirical light-hearted parody of Hamlet, centering around a royal hairdresser named Ruby. The play completely turns the tragic drama of Elsinore Castle into a fun, backstage comedy. The play is set in Ruby's House of Beauty in Elsinore and the salon operates under the strict rule "What's said at Ruby's stays at Ruby's". The cast are recognisable Shakespearean characters who come to let their hair down and spill the latest gossip to Ruby.
