SUMMARY:The UNfriend
DESCRIPTION:The UNfriend by Steven Moffat \nDirected by Cathy Shaw \nMon 23rd February 2026 – Sat 28th February 2026 \nDebbie and Peter\, a normal\, suburban\, middle-aged English couple meet Elsa\, a loud\, overbearing\, but rather fabulous American woman on a cruise. \nA brief holiday encounter turns their lives upside down when Elsa arrives at their house\, uninvited and also unwelcome. The teenage children are also put out by the visitor and the ‘uptight’ hosts discover the ‘true’ Elsa but are too polite to ask her to leave. The stress and mayhem pile up . . . . what on earth will happen? \nAn hilarious modern day comedy that ​satirises the English struggle to ‘always appear nice’ in the face of increasing challenges. \nTickets Available \nPoster designed by Hannah Stow c/o HBLT \n

SUMMARY:Bindweed
DESCRIPTION:Bindweed\, a play by Martha Loader \nA Rise & Howl Production\nDirected by Paul Chewins \nSat 21st March 2026\n7:30pm \n“Thursdays\, curry night. Curry and a pint for a fiver. Go at five thirty\, home by ten. Beat my mum up for a while. Bed by ten thirty.”  \nIn a run-down community centre\, four men convicted of domestic abuse offences gather each week in a last-chance programme to keep them out of prison. Leading them is Jen\, a former police officer with her own secrets and scars.   \nBindweed is a shattering and darkly funny play about responsibility and rehabilitation\, which looks at what can be done to tackle abuse at its root and asks whether accountability can ever truly lead to transformation. This powerful\, intimate exploration is theatre at its most compelling; not just a play but a conversation society desperately needs. \nThis is an amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books. \nTickets Available \n

SUMMARY:A Regular Terror
DESCRIPTION:A Regular Terror by Alan Stockdill \nFriday 26th & Saturday 27th June \nDoor time: 7:00pm.\nStart time: 7:30pm \nLaura Annie Willson. Mill girl\, activist\, trade unionist\, feminist\, engineer\, housebulder. What a woman\, what a legacy. \nSpeaking at an outdoor meeting in Hebden Bridge in support of a weavers’ strike\, Laura Annie was arrested. In court she demanded to be tried by a jury of women. Instead she was sent to Armley jail for 14 days. Afterwards she said: “I went into prison a rebel and I came out a regular terror”. \nShe went on to become a leading figure in the Suffragette movement\, a friend of Emmeline Pankhurst.  \nShe was imprisoned in Holloway with Emily Davison. She became an engineer and was awarded the MBE for her services to the war effort\, before going on to build over 800 worker’s houses. \nBorn into poverty in a man’s world\, she didn’t just break the glass ceiling\, she smashed it to smithereens. From rags to riches\, mill worker to millionaire\, prison to palace\, she never forgot her roots or her social conscience. \nCome and be inspired by the incredible story of this feisty northern lass whose grit and determination knew no bounds. \nTickets available here

SUMMARY:The Tempest
DESCRIPTION:The Tempest by William Shakespeare \nDirected by Jenny Gore \nMon 5th October 2026 – Sat 10th October 2026\n7.30 p.m \nThe Tempest was one of Shakespeare’s last plays. After the first scene\, depicting a ship at sea in a mighty tempest\, the story continues on a remote island inhabited by the magician Prospero and his daughter\, Miranda\, who were washed ashore twelve years before. They live with an untamed monster\, Caliban\, and a spirit\, Ariel\, who lived on the island before Prospero arrived\, but are forced into servitude by him. \nThe play explores themes of magic\, betrayal\, revenge and forgiveness. It reflects the cruelty of colonialism in the 17th century\, and it is possible that Shakespeare based the character of Prospero on himself\, for just as Prospero relinquished his magic\, Shakespeare stopped creating his magical plays.  \nTickets available now!
