Our next production will be in September 2023.

I Thought I Heard a Rustling by Alan Plater.
Directed by Sandra Gilbert.

Performances: Weds 27 September to Sat 30 September 2023 at 7.30pm

I Thought I Heard a Rustling is a gentle comedy set in the Eastwood Road branch library and is about a very serious topical dilemma: would you rather live in a town with twenty seven supermarkets and one library or a town with twenty eight supermarkets and no library?

With passing swipes at professional northerners and pompous local councillors, Alan Plater's play has warmth, affection and humour and is a celebration of the written word, suggesting as a basis for negotiation that books are a good idea. It was first performed at the Theatre Royal, Stratford East in January 1991.
