Katrina Lyons only visited Cresdon Green for the weekend to see her parents (and, incidentally, ask if they might lend her the deposit for a flat).

Unfortunately, this happened to be the weekend when aliens launched an invasion of the village and put a force-field around it.
Katrina is trapped in the place where she grew up, under the cosh of alien oppression, living with her parents.

Main Stage Production


Eight months after the Aberfan Disaster of 1966, in which 144 people were killed (116 of them children), a group of bereaved mothers meet weekly above a local hotel to talk, cry and even laugh without feeling guilty.
At one of their previous meetings, the women looked at each other and admitted how much they felt they had let themselves go.
Afraid that people will think them frivolous, they have secretly arranged for a representative from Revlon to come and give them a talk on beauty tips.

Abigails Party

uesday 21st - Thursday 23rd May 2024 @ 7:30pm

Main Stage Production


The classic play comes to Halifax starring STEVEN ARNOLD who played Ashley Peacock in Coronation Street for over 15-years.

Let us take you back to a spring evening in April 1977: Abba are number one in the charts, Red Rum wins the Grand National for the third time, Queen Elizabeth II begins her Silver Jubilee, and 15-year-old Abigail Lawson throws a party

To escape the loud music and teenage angst Abigail’s mum, Susan takes refuge with Beverly and Laurence, her middle-class neighbours.
But as the gin and tonics flow the good-will, clichés and small-talk turn into quarrels, squabbles and chaos as tensions rise and the Suburban dream is shattered.

Guaranteed to provide more laughs than you could shake a piece of cheese and pineapple on a cocktail stick at!
