Keighley Playhouse’s new season of performances promises to range in style from the farcical to the sublime.
The venue says theatre-goers can look forward to one of the most exciting selections of plays it has ever chosen.
Playhouse chairman, Chris Stocks, said the season will begin from September 2 to 7 with a production called Duets, which will comprise four short plays exploring the lighter side of romance and relationships.
Mr Stocks said: “What could be a better way to open the season than with four plays for the price of one? All four plays will be performed in one evening.
“These will be coupled with further plays in a season of comedy, satire, murder and mystery. We feel sure our loyal and dedicated audiences will be rewarded with humour and pathos.”
Duets, by Peter Quilter will feature the vignettes Blind Date, Secretarial Skills, The Holiday and The Bride To Be. These will be “an hilarious tribute to the strength and madness of the human heart”.
Agatha Christie’s The Unexpected Guest runs from October 14 to 19.
The play is a Pandora’s Box of plot twists in a mystery that opens as a stranger walks into a house to find a man murdered and his wife standing over him with a gun.
Christmas Belles, from December 2 to 7, was written by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, and Jamie Wooten.
It’s Christmas-time in a small town in Texas, but not everyone is feeling festive, as everything that can go wrong does.
Further productions for this season are Bus Stop (January 20 to 25, 2014), The Importance of Being Earnest (March 10 to 15, 2014), Johnny Belinda (April 28 to May 3, 2014) and Teechers (June 9 to 14, 2014) Evening performances begin at 7.30pm, and tickets range in price from £5 to £7.
