1989

Stags & Hens

By Willy Russell

9th-13th April

Hexagon Theatre, mac

“This foul mouthed Willy Russell piece, set in the loos of a seedy nightclub, establishes its standards early; the cue for laughter is when the bridegroom’s vomit hits his friend’s suit. But the treatment it receives in Liz Light’s crackling production is quite superb. The playing is believable, the pace rarely flags and the between scenes music adds humour of its own.” Evening Mail

 

Adrian Mole

By Sue Townsend

5th-8th July

Hexagon Theatre, mac

“This youthful and talented company make Adrian’s diary worth keeping a date with, as he escorts us through a range of experiences and family crises. A likeable Dominic Fisher breezes through the traumas with exuberance and a natural approach as Adrian. Siobhan Drury as Grandma, John Light as Bert and Emilie Goldman as Adrian’s mother all create colourful characters – make a note in your diary!” Evening Mail

 

Cider with Rosie

By James Roose Evans

13th-16th December

Hexagon Theatre, mac

“The great-nephew of best selling author Laurie Lee is starring in a stage version of his book ‘Cider with Rosie’. John Light is playing Laurie in the production by Stage2. His sister Liz is directing the show and they have borrowed a family heirloom scrapbook, which belonged to Laurie Lee’s mother, as a special prop. They also met and interviewed Charles Light, Laurie’s cousin who featured in the book.” The Birmingham Post
