One Man Two Guvnors by Richard Bean

TICKETS
You are cordially invited to an evening of fast moving chaos and conundrums, as our protagonist, Francis Henshall (who is easily confused) is appointed by 2 different governors – an upper class twit and a gangster.
His objective is to prevent his Governors becoming aware of each other, while escapades unravel and confusion escalates. Laden with luggage – Francis encounters mischief, madness, mayhem and many more mirthful characters.
Fish & chips and a pint are the endgame for Francis’ troubles, with a little help from the audience.
Will he make last orders?
This modern take on the Italian comedia dell’arte classic ‘Servant of Two Masters’ serves something for everyone.

An Evening of Christmas Entertainment
December 14th
To complete a wonderful Centenary Year, we are reviving our ever popular Christmas Concert. A nostalgic look back at the eccentricities of past seasonal variety shows will be performed on Saturday December 14th at 7.30 pm.
There will be music from the 1920s played by Chris Irvine’s little orchestra, songs and solo instrumental pieces given by members more often seen acting on stage. Two of Jenny Gore’s quirky sketches featuring single letters of the alphabet will be performed again, and another sketch by Chris Berry will enjoy its premiere to bring the centenary up to the present time. Marvellous magic will be seen amongst all the other acts, to delight and mystify you, and stories and poems will be included amongst the events.
Free Christmas refreshments for all will be available during the interval, and the bar will be open throughout.
This cornucopia of delight can be obtained for the price of £5 at the door, with no reserved seats, so it’s first come, first served.
Doors open at 7pm.
Don’t miss it!

Hebden Bridge Little Theatre festival of new playwriting 2025
The Little Theatre is pleased to announce the launch of a new one act play festival.
Playwrights based in Yorkshire and Lancashire are invited to submit original one act plays with the six winning scripts to be performed at the Festival in August 2025.
Basic rules
Only one script per author will be accepted and each script must be new work that has not been previously published or performed.
Each play must be no longer than twenty minutes long with a cast of maximum three actors and with simple staging requirements (i.e. basic set, lighting, props).
The plays will be judged by a panel of independent judges and performed for three nights over the first week of August 2025.
The plays remain copyright of their authors.
Submission guidelines
So that each script may be judged anonymously, the author’s name should appear on a cover page and not on the script. The cover page must include the following information: play title, word count, name, address, telephone number and email address. Pages must be numbered.
Please double space your piece.
One entry should be emailed to: janetgriffiths55@sky.com
Two entries should be sent to: Janet Griffiths, Hebden Bridge Little Theatre, Holme Street, HX7 8EE
The deadline for submissions is 31st March 2025
Selection Process
Hebden Bridge Little Theatre will appoint the judges who will be chosen for their experience of writing and directing. The judges will read and score each play and the ones going forward to the festival will be the ones with the highest score.
The plays short-listed will be announced at the beginning of June 2025. The results will appear on the Little Theatre website, on our Facebook page and the winning writers will be notified personally.
Production
The Little Theatre will produce the plays to our normal high standard, and the writers will have a chance to have some input into the process.

Hebden Bridge Little Theatre presents A Murder is Announced by Agatha Christie
A Murder is Announced is a stage adaptation of the book with the same title by Agatha Christie whose incomparable adroitness and ingenuity gave her the deserved title “The Queen of Crime”.
On Friday 13th, households in Chipping Cleghorn who take the local paper are amazed to see an announcement in the personal column saying that a murder will take place at 6.30 pm at Little Paddocks.
Is it a joke? Is it a game?
Miss Marple, that benign old lady with a mind like a gimlet, is there to find out…

Bleak Expectations - Auditions!

No preparation required!
Please email the director Rachel Doyle Richards for further information:
wotastar1@hotmail.com
Based on the award-winning BBC Radio 4 series, and described as “the story Dickens might have written if he’d had too much gin”, Mark Evans’ stage play Bleak Expectations is a hilarious, comic caper, featuring dastardly villains, preposterous names, incredible duels, several violent deaths, and definitely, probably, maybe…. a happy ending?
Follow half-orphan Pip Bin’s extraordinary exploits with sisters Pippa and Poppy and best friend Harry Biscuit, as they attempt to foil Mr Gently Benevolent’s dastardly scheme to steal their inheritance.
An adventure ripped straight out of a Dickens’ classic and given a Monty Python-esque twist.

Accidental Death of an Anarchist
2025-04-07 - 2025-04-12 | Hebden Bridge Little Theatre, Holme Street, Hebden Bridge, HX7 8EE
Accidental Death of and Anarchist
by Dario Fo and Franca Rame. Adapted by Tom Basden.
April 7th – 12th 2025
Directed by David Howes
Written in the 1970s to point a satirical finger at the corrupt nature of the police and justice system, this acerbic and funny play received a timely 2023 update, switching the setting from Italy to the London Met, and lets loose the protagonist of The Maniac, to expose the hypocrisies within an institution that has failed to protect and serve for decades now.
Both witty and challenging, this is a breakneck comedy that demands and holds your attention, promising laughs and provocations aplenty.

Why God Created Lesbians by Clare Summerskill

Why God Created Lesbians by Clare Summerskill
Saturday 10th May 2025
7:00 PM – 8:45 PM
Clare Summerskill returns to UK theatres with a brilliant new show for 2025: Why God Created Lesbians
In her brand-new one-woman show, Clare Summerskill attempts to explain the point of the perplexing sexual minority to which she belongs, asking why lesbians exist? Is it to ease the pressure on cat rescue centres? Is it to ensure that Shibden Hall remains a viable tourist attraction? Or is it to write one-woman comedy shows featuring songs, stand-up and storytelling? After decades of field research, she thinks she has the answer.
Expect silliness, satire and self-deprecation from crowd-pleaser Clare Summerskill as she hits the road with her funniest show yet. Clare will share the previously unheard story of the lesbian squirrel on the Ark, forced to take up a complaint about compulsory heterosexuality with Noah himself; and she will finally uncover the Almighty’s real opinion about women-loving-women.
A packed comedy show from ‘one of the funniest women in the country’ (What’s On) with a keen fanbase across the UK (gay and straight!). Clare has previously written for BBC Radio 4’s Weekending and Heated Rollers and toured her shows to theatres in the UK and the US.
Praise for Clare Summerskill’s previous shows:
‘Engaging and Charming’ Time Out
‘A lesbian Victoria Wood’ Woman’s Hour
‘Fantastic show, hilarious, witty, intelligent and moving’ ***** Audience member
‘Gritty, funny comedy – great evening’ ***** Audience member
‘What are you waiting for? Grab your tickets now!’ Diva

DOUBLE BILL OF ONE ACT PLAYS

Blue Remembered Hills by Dennis Potter
Director Jenny Gore
It’s a hot summer’s day in 1943 and seven children play, laugh, sing and cry somewhere in the woods just before tea-time. In a whirl of constant activity, their lives are brim-full of joy and horror, anxiety and delight.
Dennis Potter’s affectionate study captures the traumas of childhood beneath the apparently innocent surface. He reminds us that adults are children who have simply substituted subtlety for spontaneity.
That rose-tinted nostalgia for the ‘blue remembered hills’ of our youth is not always justified.

Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons by Sam Steiner
Directed by Gil Burns
The average person will speak 123,205,750 words in a lifetime. But what if there were a limit? This play imagines a world where we’re forced to say less.
Sam Steiner tells the story of Bernadette and Oliver, a young couple trying to come to grips with a society that has an imposed limit in which each person is only allowed to use up to 140 words in a single day. It explores this imposition from their two perspectives as they negotiate life, love and conflict with ever less options on how to communicate their feelings.
The non-linear narrative flits from past to present, exploring how the couple navigate through turbulent waters as Steiner strips the text and the characters to their emotional core.

LipService presents
Funny Stuff
Written & performed by Sue Ryding
Sue Ryding is one half of legendary comedy duo LipService. In 2022 her comedy partner Maggie Fox died, and Sue was left with a shipping container full of stage props, costumes, wigs, hats, shoes, sheep, you name it. This show looks at all the “stuff” we accumulate, hoard and hate to let go. In this humorous and creative response to grief, Sue struggles to part with a life-sized stuffed sheep, a badger onesie, some ruby slippers, a sinking bog, Charlotte Bronte’s knickers and a host of soft toys. Touring anecdotes are combined with archive footage from LipService shows. Not all the items will be making it back up the loft ladder, so the audience is invited to take something home. Come along and help Sue on her journey of letting go.
