*We recommend this production for students aged 13+ due to some of the content and use of strong language.
In his secret diary, British teenager Adrian Mole excruciatingly details every morsel of his turbulent adolescence. Mixed in with daily reports about the zit sprouting on his chin are heartrending passages about his parents' chaotic marriage. Adrian sees all, and he has something to say about everything. Delightfully self-centered, Adrian is the sort of teenager who could rule a much better world--if only his crazy relatives and classmates would get out of his way.
This amateur production of “The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged Thirteen and Three Quarters - The Play” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk

This tale follows our Eddie, a much-loved milkman - from a family of great Italian milkmen - who finds himself becoming a chart-topping Beat group star, quite by accident. Having inherited the family milk round from his father, Eddie has fulfilled his deathbed promise to never miss a delivery for the good people of the village of Bottledale. But suddenly things are on the up! His songs are heading up the charts and if he can get there by tonight he’ll be on the brand-new Top of The Pops!
So, get ready, Eddie, go! You’re heading for the high life, with the fabulous Gold Tops behind you every step of the way!
But when things take a churn for the worse, will he get back for the morning milk?
Celebrating their 25th birthday in 2023 with this audience favourite from their back catalogue... don't miss it!

The Swing Commanders are a stunningly vibrant and versatile group that performs an exciting mix of 1940s classics, boogie-woogie, western swing, 50’s jump jazz and more!
Every member of the Swing Commanders sings and plays at least one instrument, sometimes three: Yet what makes them stand out even above their incredible music ability and performing skills is their joie-de-vivre.
The Band have appeared, often headlining, at most of the UK’s top Vintage and Country Music festivals. Loved by fans of Jazz, Country, Swing and Blues, The Swing Commanders fill dancehalls with Lindy Hoppers, Modern Jivers, Line Dancers, and Social Dancers, up and down the UK, and as far as Europe and the US.
Between them, The Swing Commanders have a wealth of musical experience, from bar room to classical concert hall, as well as an understanding of dance and theatre. This results in a stage show that is technically precise and wildly entertaining.
People who experience the band for the first time are amazed at the energetic showmanship, the instrument swapping, the tight arrangements, and vocal blend. This isn’t a nostalgia trip or Rat Pack karaoke. It is fine songs played joyfully and brilliantly.

The social season is upon us! Heartbreak Productions cordially invites well-connected ladies and gentlemen of distinction to this year’s ‘Sense and Sensibility’ Debutante Ball. Ladies Elinor and Marianne Dashwood each seek to meet an honourable man of good fortune (and a handsome countenance if possible) by whatever means necessary. As you mingle amongst the beau monde revelry and romance will unfold, and we shall witness these two sisters’ trials and tribulations, their sense and sensibility, and learn the ways of Regency and courtly love. Rumours abound that royalty may even be amongst our number…
So find your finery and join Heartbreak Productions for their open-air adaptation of Sense and Sensibility. Jane Austen’s biting social satire about sisters in straightened circumstances is sure to satiate your summer romance requirement. Pack a picnic, grab a chair or blanket, and settle in for this literary classic with a Heartbreak twist
