As General Sir William Boothroyd is keen to point out to anyone who will listen to his ramblings ' Boothroyd Hall has been in the Boothroyd family since the English Civil War - don't you know'. But when a bypass threatens to cut through the grounds of the stately home, it is Lady Boothroyd who decides that dramatic action must be taken to scupper the plans and make the Ministry of Transport see sense. However, her intended grand gesture turns out to threaten the political career of her son and the tranquility of her dotty family more than the bulldozers!

ONE of Shakespeare's earliest plays, The Comedy of Errors, is the summer production by Studio Theatre.
Director Peter Kelly has set the play within a quasi-contemporary framework and has succeeded in giving a fast-moving and lively interpretation of the complex plot.
The cast all play with great energy and commitment, but there are times hen the dialogue suffers by being delivered too quickly and the subtlety of the language is sacrificed to pace.
JOE Orton’s masterpiece What the Butler Saw, is conventionally greeted with lascivious nods and winks.
In Mike Rogers’ production, the psychiatrist’s consulting room is dominated by an enormous curtained-off double bed into which Dr Prentice (Graham Paramor) is hoping to lure pretty, innocent young Geraldine (Georgie Brazier), there to apply for the post of his secretary.
Favourite Farce is just hilarious
WHEN Philip King's See How They Run was first produced, in the dark days of blackout, Doodlebugs and threatened invasion, it was an im-mediate success, and has remained a favourite ever since.
The play involves a British lance corporal (George Goulding) and an escaped prisoner-of-war (Stewart Taylor), both disguised as vicars, together with two genuine vicars (Alistair Faulkner and Paul Marsh).
