Musical with book and lyrics by Guy Bolton

"A musical tale of Anglo Saxon attitudes to a soundtrack of minstrels' lutes and debauched singing where (almost) everything will be revealed.

In the court of Leofric, the Earl of Mercia, trouble is brewing - Lady Godiva, the Earl's wife in all but the eyes of the church, won't go to bed with him unless he pays his penance to the local Bishop. However, when Leofric imprisons the cousins of Godiva's handsome tailor Tom, she has little choice but to carry out his demand to ride naked through the centre of the city in order to free them."

Hans Christian Anderson's much-loved tale of the one-legged tin soldier and his epic journey.

Black comedy written by Joe Orton. The plot revolves around a murdered woman's funeral - the coffin is present, but where is the body? And the stolen loot from the bank robbery?

Billy thinks he's got away with murder, but nothing's ever that simple. Billy's mom is up in heaven, galvanizing a butch army of dyke angels to seek revenge..."

"Hello Chums! Direct from the Edinburgh Festival, the sensational Fringe First nominated comedy that takes you into the world of the Boys Own comics of the 1920s.

The Great War has ended (incidentally it was called Great because we won!) and Great Britain - there's that word again, chums - has occupied Mesopotamia and called it Iraq because it is so much easier to pronounce. Unfortunately the Arabs haven't shown their gratitude to our British soldiers (shame on them!) and are rebelling against liberation. Our noble and great Colonial Secretary, Winston Churchill, has advocated dropping poison gas on them, and many readers may agree with him!

But something almost as bad happens to the chums of St. Ethelred's, and you will just have to wait to find out what! For the boys of the Empire, things are about to get tough..."
