Mousetrap sprung!
With Omicron looming we are not able to go ahead with our planned production of the Mousetrap at the Boathouse Theatre. We would have liked to have presented it later, however the rights are no longer available as an Australasian tour is planned for later in the year. Therefore the rights have been withdrawn.
However we will find ‘something’ exciting in the future to make up for it.
So enjoy this link as a taster of what might have been. Push through the ads to hear Toni Harper singing Three Blind Mice.
3rd to 13th of November

About the show:
Greg only met Ginny a month ago, but he knows they’re meant for each other. When she announces that she’s going to visit her parents, Greg decides this is the moment to ask her father for his daughter’s hand. Discovering a scribbled address, he follows her to Buckinghamshire where he finds Philip and Sheila enjoying a peaceful Sunday morning breakfast in the garden, but the only thing is – they’re not Ginny’s parents.
The play that made Alan Ayckbourn’s name is an enduringly funny comedy of mistaken identities and excruciating misunderstandings.
